Buried Communication Cable

Lyla Rye

2022,

Despite the sense of time standing still in a cemetery, the movement of light reminds us of the ongoing, relentless passage of time. Orange vested workers scurry by, hinting at the brevity of our time on the planet. Ground squirrels act as vigilant guardians watching over this cemetery in Banff amongst flags reading: Buried Communication Cable. They sound warnings from above to below ground and, I propose, from the animal to the human world, on the impact of our actions.
