Salem Witch Trials Tercentenary Design Competition: 

"Twenty Voids of Matter Lost, Lives Removed..." 

Salem, Massachusetts

 

Twenty voids of matter lost, lives removed:

Twenty trees to hang witches from.

Twenty shadows frame figures of light.

Twenty thresholds, each named for a victim.

Twenty entrances to a pool of light.

Twenty memories for the living to dance among.

Twenty openings to frame your portrait in.

Twenty visits remind us it could happen again.

Twenty voids of matter lost, lives removed:
