Her Heart Is Washed in Water and Then Weighed (2006)

A meditation on motherhood and mortality that takes its title from a procedure in the autopsying of a human corpse. Subtle juxtapositions evoke parallels between static monuments and living families to suggest what is lost to time and age. When you die, everything you know, including this, disappears.
