Q. What would you guess is the title of this photograph?

A. The title of this astonishingly beautiful photograph by Jocelyn Lee is Phlox in your garden during the last hour of your life, July 11, 2008 (5:00 to 6:50 a.m.). The title changes our understanding of the photograph in profound ways.  We understand that it was taken at a deeply personal moment in response to profound loss. It helps us to connect with an otherwise indescribable moment of release and helps us understand the garden as a spiritual place. Titles can provide the critical access needed to more fully understand an artists ideas and intent. When we view this work knowing the title, our experience of its narrative is fundamentally altered.
