I have learned more about humanity by studying art than from years of reading academic philosophy.

Papers
Lawrence H. Powers was a long-time professor at Wayne State University, author of "Non-Contradiction (Studies in Logic)," and a charismatic mentor. He died in 2018. The following is my contribution to that set.
The last 25 years brought the fresco back to light thanks to the dissertation by Durette Underwood and the monograph by Frank Müller. The first gives an interesting but highly conjectural interpretation of the painting while the second takes on an interesting form of a logical theorem and rejects the hypothesis of a wedding altogether. This paper examines in detail both studies of the fresco and ultimately sides with the interpretation given by Müller in his 1994 "The Aldobrandini Wedding" monograph. In consequence, however, the paper also lays grounds for the metric way of interpreting the arrangement of the figures in this ancient wall painting.
I draw from the literature, but, first and foremost, from the personal experiences with the so-called ‘complicated grief’, multiple losses and losses to unusual circumstances.
This is the talk i had pleasure to give during the graduate conference at Wayne State University, titled: (Re)Productive City: Bodies, Histories, Labyrinths, on April 11, 2015.
