We have heard it before, what’s on your bucket list? Candy Chang, an artist took it one step
further. After loosing a loved one and
contemplating death she eventually found clarity in her life. She wanted a daily reminder and not to get
hung up on the day-to-day struggles. She
wondered what really mattered to others.
With permission from the city of New Orleans she painted an abandoned
house with chalk paint and stenciled a grid with the unfinished sentence Before
I die I would like to______________________.
The response was overwhelming. The wall was full by the next day and kept on
growing. Before I die I want to see my
daughter graduate, sing for millions, abandon all insecurities… The wall is a reminder that she is not alone.
She has had requests from all over the world to create a
wall in their community. 500 walls have
been created in over 30 languages and 70 countries.
You can follow the latest Before I die walls and responses
on Twitter, Facebook or a monthly newsletter.
