You Are No Longer Among the Living (Akhmatova). 2018. Hand embroidery with beads on linen, 28.175 x 16.875 in. (71.6 x 42.9 cm)

You are no longer among the living,
You cannot rise from the snow.
Twenty-eight bayonets,
Five bullets.

A bitter new shirt
For my beloved I sewed.
The Russian earth loves, loves
Droplets of blood.

Anna Akhmatova, 1921
