Artist Ginger Geyer will be showing this stunning collage at Timeless Comfort/Modern Witness.
Just as a Requiem honors the fundamental beauty of lament in song, this collage utilizes actual sheet music from Mozart’s Requiem to give voice and space to the inexpressible in a tangible, artistic presentation. By juxtaposing the innocence of childhood rhyme with the depth of ancestral grief, Requiem for Roses evokes the same transformative complexity found in Conspirare’s most powerful performances.
This is a visual symphony that offers protective space for sorrow, ultimately mirroring Conspirare’s mission to foster healing and connection through the shared experience of art.
Available for sale at $6,375 payable to Ginger Geyer ($5,000 of the sale price will be donated to Conspirare.)
Dimensions: 50 1/2” H x 72” W
