Dying – A Journey is a series of marble tiles that is part of her long-term research into feelings of sadness and grief. It is thematically connected to Untitled Live Sculpture in that it looks into ritualization, which plays a part in helping her cope during the period of mourning over her late father. Etched on the tiles are poetic text inspired by conversations with other women in her community, to memorialize their words, lending significance to what they thought were inconsequential talks. The use of black marble, a reverent and permanent material traditionally associated with monuments, plaques and headstones, was an interesting subversion for Moi Tran.
