The New Haven Botanical Garden of Healing is a small park dedicated to the memory of those lost to gun violence. It opened in June of 2021.
The Lost Generation Sculpture depicts a group of families. As the viewer moves closer to the sculpture, certain people in the sculpture seem to disappear. This symbolizes the voids left in families by the death of a family member. This park is located on Valley Street in New Haven, next to the West River.
"According to Marissa Mead, RA, LEED AP, director of art at Svigals + Partners and the design lead for the memorial, “The Lost Generation sculpture serves as a reminder of both the fragility and strength that exists within families and communities. Figurative voids in the piece illustrate the ever-present sense of absence when loved ones are lost to tragedy, and allude to the idea that death has a compounded influence on both current and future generations.”"
