“We are imperfect mortal beings, aware of that mortality even as we push it away, failed by our very complication,
so wired that when we mourn our losses we also mourn, for better or worse, ourselves.
As we were. As we are no longer. As we will one day not be at all.”
- Joan Didion

Tribute mural to famed author and Sacramento native Joan Didion, using poignant passages of her collected works to build the light, shadow, and shape of her likeness set against the fertile backdrop of rural Sacramento farmlands.
