Apologies for yet another image of our Remembrance events. This installation of 51 transparent figures is in a nearby church and commemorates the servicemen from the village who were killed in WW1, or died of the effects of war in the following years.
Some of the transparent figures, like family members, sit together while others are on their own. One figure, a former chorister, sits in the choir stalls. Each has a name block bearing the name of the Fallen and visitors and the congregation are encouraged to sit with the men in moments of quiet reflection.
It is such a poignant and moving image, and it made me feel so grateful for the sacrifice these people made for us. The title of the installation says it all "There But Not There"
What a wonderful concept. Looks like a nice Church as well.
This is a beautiful image - not easy to photograph transparency! Such a moving, visual concept. Absolute fav!
I thought ypu'd done a double exposure! This is such a clever shot of a clever installation. Thank yu for sharing it!!!
So very poignant and a great concept. Wonderful capture of these unique figures. Fav.
What a thoughtful and touching tribute. I'm writing this, moved to tears, remembering those I've lost and miss. Emotionally charged, thank you.
@fbailey Yes, it was used last year as well, but I never got to see it, so was determined to go this year.
@littleconnie I made sure I went when there was no-one else there, which made it even more moving.
