Building on a personal photograph from a gay cruise in 1990, this wall mural presents the beach chairs as a memorial to the men who are no longer among us. Statistically, 50% of the men on this boat will have been infected with HIV and died, largely due of governmental neglect, prejudice, and ineptitude.
