Love and Grief

Some time ago I wrote this post about artist Kaziah Hancock and Project Compassion.

I had seen a news report and was touched by the compassion as she reached out to the parents and spouses of fallen soldiers, providing them with gallery quality portraits of a lost loved one.

In the course of checking for updates, I discovered that Project Compassion has grown to include 5 artists — each completing a minimum of one of these exquisite memorial portraits each week.

There is also a new film documenting this loving work. To quote the filmmakers’ site “proof that one person can make a difference.”

I believe that you will find Kaziah’s contribution to these families deeply moving and especially appropriate as we head toward Memorial Day.
