This project is dedicated to all of those precious souls who left this world much sooner than they should have. The idea came to our mind while watching Rob Reiner’s “Stand By Me” and thinking of River Pheonix’s sudden death. This event was followed by Chester Bennington’s suicide, and that was when we realised we have to show this pain and sorrow through a project.
