The mass shooting at the Table Mesa King Soopers on March 22 left the �Ǹ�Թ� community reeling. For local artist Michael Grab (Soc’07), his natural response was to create art.��

For several days following the tragedy, 10 delicately balanced stone towers, one for each victim, stood quiet and tall in a slightly hidden spot in �Ǹ�Թ� Creek, not far from Folsom Field.��

Grab creates his temporary art installations with nothing but stones, balance and concentration.��

“The true power of applying this art form in a memorial style like this exists very much in its transience,” he said on Instagram. “The fact that nothing lasts holds a very distinct style of almost melancholic beauty.”
