Lockers
Lockers is a 12’x9’ interactive memorial that recalls 226 lives that were unjustly taken in school shootings from January 1, 2000 to March 20, 2018. Arranged in the shape of a handgun, each person is represented by a locker, which can be opened, revealing the story of a life no longer with us.
Each locker is a 10"x6"x4" wooden box with a door that swings open on brass hinges. Inside each locker is a stencil that contains the name, age, and a personal detail about each victim as well as the school and location where the shooting occurred. On the back of each stencil is a picture of each victim on cardstock. All 226 lockers are attached to a large wooden backpiece pre-designed in the shape of a handgun. Once all the lockers are installed, the back piece is covered and the lockers appear to be making the gun on their own.
Lockers is currently displayed in the lobby shared by NuVu Studio and a Cambridge, MA theater company.
