In London last year we went for a walk on the south bank of Thames. A good part of that walk in the most touristy section between two of the bridges is devoted to a wall of remembrance for victims of COVID; names, with stenciled hearts. Many of the stencils had hand painted links to adjacent hearts representing related family members who had died.

The scale of the exhibit, probably over a mile long, counterposed with the tiny size of each painted heart and name, is very moving. It led me to wonder if there were something similar here in the US; I couldn’t recall hearing about such a thing. I determined to make a local wall for Whidbey Island. But of course I forgot about it, until I read Dave’s comment.
