When a mass shooting takes place, the aura of that space changes permanently. Familiar streets, schools, and gathering sites were once filled with everyday life. Seemingly mundane locations have since become forced memorials, spaces of mourning that communities never asked for, yet must confront. Communities face grief, absence, and fear when returning to these landmarks. This work seeks to visualize that emotional and physical shift while considering how acts of remembrance are embedded within the environment itself. As a photographer from Denver, Colorado—a city repeatedly scarred by mass shootings—this research is deeply personal. The New Memorials focuses on my hometown, where I use Google Maps as a digital archive to revisit sites of tragedy. By studying these places through various timestamps I trace subtle and visible transformations in each landscape. I take screenshots of the landmarks before, during, and after the shootings and then cut, collage, and scan these deconstructed images to form reconstructed “monuments” from the very locations where lives were lost. Some sites have completely renovated the buildings of the shootings, such as the King Soopers supermarket in Boulder, Colorado. After the shooting, the store decided to renovate the building to create a different scenery so the community would not be reminded of the incident every time they pass by. The renovations serve to assist in the community's healing process, enhance security, and incorporate a permanent outdoor memorial. Framing this investigation within the larger history of American monuments, The New Memorials questions the future of commemoration in the United States. As traditional war memorials come under scrutiny for their ties to racism, exclusion and violence, I ask: what will the new memorials of our era look like? Through this series, beginning in Colorado and expanding across the country, I aim to create new forms of collective remembrance. Monuments grounded in empathy, reflection, and unity.
