The latest temporary memorial on the Mall was installed last week. We sent our photographer to have a look (rsp)
The memorial consisted of 4,000 vases, each with ten silk flowers. (rsp)
The 40,000 flowers represent the 40,000 or so deaths due to gun violence every year. The memorial was sponsored by Giffords, ex-congresswoman Gabrielle Gifford’s anti-gun violence group. (rsp)
The memorial was designed by Doug Landry, who also did the Covid-19 memorial on the Mall last year (rsp)
Undeterred by the memorial, a German Netflix series filmed on right next to the flowers. (rsp)
