Remember Here
Keri Rosebraugh & Mike Marshall

This video documents the aftermath of the January 7, 2025 Eaton Fire in Altadena, CA, USA. Using pastel chalk and drone cinematography, the piece captures both the physical devastation and emotional journey of the affected community.

Amidst the rubble of her neighborhood, Rosebraugh inscribes messages encouraging residents to remember, reflect, share their stories, and ultimately find release. Her choice of chalk as a medium deliberately emphasises the impermanence of both physical structures and emotional states.

“While the Eaton and Palisades fires are 100% contained, many of us remain displaced,” Rosebraugh explains. “Navigating through these hardships isn’t a sprint – it’s a marathon. I wanted to remind myself and others that we’re not alone, that it’s vital to support our neighbours, and that it’s okay to ask for help.”
