Gabriel talked about having a family crest. The days after his death, being so sudden, I longed to hear his voice, longed to see his face, animated – as it usually was – as he spoke passionately about whatever. I had an old interview on my Vimeo and played that, over and over, and Gabriel felt like our family was unique from many of his friends’. I thought about this idea of the crest and wondered if we should add a phoenix, particularly appropriate since I wanted him to rise from his ashes.
