This is a sheet of canvas that was signed by University of Rochester students and members of the community in 1994 as part of the NAMES Project AIDS Memorial Quilt. The project features a massive quilt (this section of the quilt is 12’ by 12’), and commemorates those who have died from AIDS. I was moved by the messages left on the sheet, where people addressed friends and family who have died from the disease, or longed for a cure.
