In "a tomb," the artists replicate Simon's childhood bedroom and belongings. The impetus for the work was his parents’ sudden and dramatic split after forty years of marriage the previous year. While mourning this loss, Simon recalled a tender childhood memory when his mother helped him create an Egyptian tomb in a shoe box for school. Preserving an innocent moment in Simon’s life, the work touches upon both intensely personal pasts and broader strokes of human history.
