The Vision
A Place to Heal
We are creating The Embrace:
a large-scale outdoor memorial in Altadena, California.
A structure you can walk into.
A space where thousands of keys surround you.
A place to remember, reflect, and reconnect.

Photographer Frank Schlegel lost everything in the Eaton Fire, but his passion to document the experience remains intact. In a journey towards community empowerment and to cope with his loss, Frank has been capturing photos of the devastation and has generously allowed me to use some for this memorial project. I took this photo of Frank on the morning we were evacuated, unaware that his home was already gone. You can see more of Frank's powerful images on Instagram @frank8x.
