The artwork featured on the “Good Grief” poster is a still from a WIP film created by Isaac Forsland, titled "Portrait of Linda” (2026). The 16mm film captures several frames from Forsland’s grandma’s ashes under a microscope. Forsland is an emerging experimental filmmaker based on the unceded lands of the xwməθkwəy̓ əm (Musqueam), Sḵwx̱wú7mesh (Squamish), and səlilwətaɬ (Tsleil-Waututh) Nations. “Portait of Linda” is one of ten films featured in the “Good Grief” Exhibition.
