Artist Eiko Otake's installation "Mother" inside the historic chapel of Green-Wood Cemetery. Consisting of 2 videos and the sculpture seen here on the floor. In the video Otake talks to and dances with her mother who died in 2019. Though this is the artist's personal story the artist "hopes viewers have an opportunity to contemplate their own material bonds, as well as the diverse yet common connection to a mother that links us all to the distant past"
