Ulysses S. Grant is entombed within an 8 ½-ton red granite sarcophagus in the center of the mausoleum. Julia Grant was interred within an identical sarcophagus at her husband’s side after her death in 1902. I photograph the Grant sarcophagus as a reflective abstraction of a geometric slab seemingly floating within the curving marble of the tomb’s sanctuary. By converting the image to black and white, I suggest a funerary tone and remove the warm color of morning light that fills the sanctuary.
