When sculptor Suse Lowenstein’s son Alex was murdered in the 1988 bombing of Pan Am Flight 103 over Lockerbie, Scotland, in an effort to come to terms with her grief, Suse turned to her art. She began to sculpt herself “stripped” naked and in the emotional position she fell upon hearing the news of her son’s death. She found the process brought some solace. Thinking this might help others, Suse posted about her project in the Pan Am Victims’ Family Newsletter inviting others to participate. Seventy-five women responded. Suse sculpted these women posed in the painful moment they fell into when they received the news. It took Suse fifteen years to complete Dark Elegy. She says she prolonged the process because, “It kept me alive.” As Suse grapples with her own mortality, she must determine the fate of this controversial memorial to the victims of a brutal attack that altered American history. Every time someone is murdered in an act of terrorism, we all die a little.“Seat 20D” is a poetic exploration of how art cradled a mother's soul and touches all who view it.
