In many ways, a photograph and a diamond are closer than one may think.
This relationship, this complicity of commemoration, is what makes the images in this book so moving, so alarming, so touching.
This book accompanies this metamorphosis of commemoration.
We see photos from the past, we see memories that have become diamonds,
and we see the relationships of the bereaved to this crystalline form of commemoration.
Kurt Riha
