Dark Elegy

Dark Elegy is a sculpture garden created by Susan Lowenstein, the mother of Alexander Lowenstein, one of the travel abroad students from Syracuse University who died aboard Pan Am 103. Each figure represents a mother, wife, or sister of a victim of the bombing, the moment they found out the plane had been destroyed. The hopes for these sculptures when they were created was that they would eventually find a permanent place to be displayed as a memorial to all victims of terrorism, so that peoples of all nations could visit it.

With terrorism increasingly present in our lives today, we feel this memorial’s purpose and the images from it are deeply connected to the story we are telling. We look to it for inspiration in our telling of The Women of Lockerbie, and hope, like it, for our story to connect to all who grieve the lives lost through terrorism.
