oíche mhaith (ee-ha-wah) - good night 
'A grave is not hard for cities to forget, especially if they largely forgot the people when they were alive.' - Grave, by Allison C. Meier
oíche mhaith, oíche mhaith is inspired by Irish funerary customs, the mythos surrounding Shakespeare's Ophelia, our relationship to grief and mourning, and the question of remembrance. 
How do we remember someone who wishes to be forgotten?
