About Grief Box Project

About the Artist

Daphne Mac is an artist, filmmaker, and death doula whose work explores the intersections of grief, memory, and collective storytelling. 


With a background in fine arts, photography, and decades of documentary filmmaking, her practice has always centered on witnessing lives, amplifying overlooked voices, and honoring what remains after loss. 


The Grief Box Project grew out of her personal encounters with grief and has evolved into a multidisciplinary public artwork that invites communities to share their stories, create an archive, and preserve memory across generations. Drawing from her experience guiding others through death and dying. 


Daphne approaches this work as both witness and participant, creating a space where private mourning becomes part of a shared, enduring history.

Creative Vision

What is your relationship with grief?


The Grief Box Project invites this question into public space, where stories of loss are shared, recorded, and preserved. Through sound, story, and a century-long time capsule, it transforms personal mourning into a collective archive for the future.

My commitment to The Grief Box Project is to gather and safeguard stories of grief in the present while ensuring they endure into the future. I am creating structures of stewardship so this archive will remain intact and be unveiled a century from now.
