Yet, ironically, why do we erect memorials? To remind us to never forget - the pain of war, the horrors of human brutality, the loss of a loved one. Is human memory so fallible that we need to carve even the deepest of scars and the most tormenting of memories in stone? This installation piece plays with this peculiar paradox inherent in the notion of memorials. 

Instead of prompting us to remember, this memorial forces us to realize how much we have forgotten. The names of deceased citizens, celebrities, soldiers and infamous criminals are recorded mechanically on these Date Due cards. Sure, when Michael Jackson died, it made big news; so did that of Osama Bin Laden. But with the constant flux of flickering images and ceaseless information surrounding us everyday, how many of us actually still remember?
