Unfinished Farewell is an online space to commemorate the people who have left us because of the pandemic. When visitors enter each person's "tomb", they can see their stories and the help-seeking information they posted before they passed away, and leave a message. Behind every number is a life. The website is designed this way so that, when visitors enter this space, they can sense that sort of atmosphere: sorrow, grief, solemn, melancholy, mourning, agony.
