Isla Vista Tragedy memorial at UCSB
In collaboration of composer Heena Yoon and new-music cello player Kathryn Carlson, this project was born at the heartbreaking “backpack tomb” on the UCSB campus curated by Briana Michel.
Carlson's variation has been performed at various and significant venues such as the memorial wall "We Remember Them," the UCSB labyrinth, the St.Mike's Church for the memorial service led by Meditation practicioner Raduhle Meininger, and UCSB summer music festival 2018.

This social activism piece has been spread out, naturally varying its shape: first in West Coast by cellist Kathryn Carlson, then East coast by trombonist Jacob Elkin, then Midwest by Heena Yoon playing nay, then back to southern California responding the Thousand Oaks gun tragedy. However, the message has never changed:
Not One More.
