inMemory is a small ritual space dedicated to the victims of terrorism. The four singing bowls contain the memory of the souls, giving the area a mysticizing feel with their sparks of sound and light. Hitting one of the singing bowls calms the space for a while and will hopefully console those who were left by their loved ones.

Global Terrorism Database is an open-source database that provides a dataset containing information on terrorist attacks around the world from 1970 to 2016. Every spark from the singing bowls represents at least one life that was lost during an attack. Four singing bowls represent four regions of the world, positioned according to their geographical location. The goal of using this dataset in this project is, however, not to inform, but rather to console.
