“In October, 2014, Atsumi Yoshikubo, a Japanese tourist, was seen walking
down the highway outside of Yellowknife with a camera and a shoulder bag.
It was the last time she was seen alive. The following summer, a friend of
mine, Ryan Silke, discovered her belongings in the bush, not far from town.
Rather than delving into how Atsumi died — her death was assumed to be
intentional — I began thinking about how we engage in certain processes to
slow down time."
