A recently launched contemporary digital exhibition, launched by International Committee of the Red Cross and involving collaboration with artist Tamuna Chabashvili, explores experiences and feelings of people whose relatives and loved ones have gone missing, through their memories and reflections.

Launched to mark International Day of the Disappeared, Missing Monument brings together words and visuals dealing with elements of the experience like the past, the waiting and the hopefulness on the part of the families.

Designed as a "space of reflection" around the process of missing - from commemoration to lack of closure - the display is seen as a tribute to families across the world that face the void left by disappearances.

Like a chorus in Greek tragedy, the sound tree provides the atmosphere and brings together different voices, creating a shared space for the missing persons" - project summary
