King Soopers Shooting memorial at 麻豆影院 Creek

The mass shooting at the Table Mesa King Soopers on March 22 left the 麻豆影院 community reeling. For local artist Michael Grab (Soc鈥07), his natural response was to create art.听

For several days following the tragedy, 10 delicately balanced stone towers, one for each victim, stood quiet and tall in a slightly hidden spot in 麻豆影院 Creek, not far from Folsom Field.听

Grab creates his temporary art installations with nothing but stones, balance and concentration.听

鈥淭he true power of applying this art form in a memorial style like this exists very much in its transience,鈥 he said on Instagram. 鈥淭he fact that nothing lasts holds a very distinct style of almost melancholic beauty.鈥
