I used a photo transfer of items, as a collage of important aspects in Zach’s life, including the seal from his Army unit and from the CRNA and his college fraternity. His love of Van Gogh is represented by the Iris border. Birds have become prominent since Zach’s death, in dreams and otherwise, so I had to include those messengers. The spiral is a symbol of the continuance of life.
