Today marks 103 years since the Armenian Genocide.

A modern-day burning 'Library of Alexandria'. Only, instead of parchment, people were erased from the face of the earth for merely existing.

Their bodies, once a mosaic collection of unspoken wonders and dignity, ceased to be autonomous.

The ashes of destruction never truly disappear nor do they give a complete picture; they can only serve as a symbol of the fragility and livelihood of our actions.

Just like the Library of Alexandria has become a symbol for the irretrievable loss of public knowledge, the Armenian genocide serves as a reminder to never stop searching for the stories that have been lost or have yet to be told.
