This Loss We Carry
Art Revealing the Gunfire Epidemic
More than 70,000 men, women, and children are
SHOT
in the U.S. every year.
Over half the deaths are suicides.
Gun violence, defense and accidents killed the rest.
The number of injuries is even higher.
Many are disabled for life.
Countless others struggle with psychological trauma.
All our lives are diminished by this loss we carry.
Have you lost -- or feared losing -- someone to gunfire?
It doesn't have to be like this.
There is no single solution, but collaborative art and individual actions can bring change.
Art helps us see and feel these losses.
The origami Soul Boxes you see here were made by people from all over our Nation to acknowledge this escalating health crisis. They found solace in folding Soul Boxes to raise awareness.
Feel the loss. Take action. Save lives. |
