Glass and water: Atlanta art exhibits show grief in Asian American community after deadly spa shootings
ATLANTA, Ga. (Atlanta News First) – Flux Projects is a nonprofit organization in Atlanta trying to make art available to the community at no cost. It is a way for them to create a platform for people to have conversations.
They are continually working on a multi-year, multi-project series called “Flow,” exploring the different ways we use water to connect with nature, to grieve, to love. They partner with local artists to make it happen. The next installation will be coming up in Buckhead at the end of April. It is called “Braiding Time, Memory and Water.” It is a performance encouraging people to reconnect with nature.
“Today, we are in an installation called ‘Our Mothers Our Water, Our Peace.’ It is by a Korean American artist Gyun Hur,” said Flux Projects Executive Director Anne Archer Dennington.
These exhibits are also used to tell stories of grief.
“Grief never leaves but it continues to flow,” said Archer Dennington.
Every glass teardrop looks like they are falling from the ceiling. Each one is filled with water from the Chattahoochee River. The installation is an effort to portray the grief within the Asian American community after the 2021 deadly shootings at metro Atlanta spas. On March 16, eight people were killed.
“Unless we remember these things, we run the risk of repeating them. It is very important, not only for the Asian American community to remember this story, but it is important for all of us to recognize it as part of Atlanta’s history and what has happened here,” said Archer Dennington.
The teardrops are in the musical pattern of “I Have Got Peace Like a River.”
Flow is a simple name. It is a simple way of talking about big issues that might be too heavy without the art that helps translate it.

76ers at Hawks picks and predictions
Prediction
76ers 114, Hawks 111
BET 76ERS (+155).
The Hawks have fallen off a cliff, and their defense has gone with them. They are 1-4 over their last 5 outings and have allowed at least 123 points in 5 of their last 8 games. Their offense hasn’t matched that shortcoming, scoring 100 points or fewer in 2 of their last 5 contests.
The 76ers, on the other hand, are surging, and their defense has been much improved from earlier in the season. They have held 4 of their last 5 opponents to 105 points or fewer and haven’t given up more than 112 points in December (through 5 games). Philadelphia has won 3 straight on the road.
Take 76ERS (+155).
PASS.
The preferred option is the moneyline, thanks to the enhanced odds. The spread is also playable, particularly with the 76ers.
BET UNDER 226.5 (-110).
The 76ers have gone Under in 5 straight games, and while their defense has stepped up, they have scored 116 points or fewer in their last 4 contests. They are 11-13 O/U on the season.
The Hawks are 3-2 O/U in their last 5 games, largely due to their weak defense, which is less likely to be exploited given that the 76ers rank 20th in pace. Expect a slower-tempo game and take UNDER 226.5 (-110).

The Atlanta Braves have locked down two free agents. One bolstered the bullpen while the other diversified their options on the offense. Now, from what we’re hearing, the attention has turned to fortifying the rotation.
We are gaining an idea of who the Braves are targeting on the starting pitching market. Framber Valdez and Michael King appear to be the top two free-agent options they’re taking a look at, per source. The goal would be to land one of the two. How far along any potential talks are or if they’re currently talking at all is unclear. We just know now that these two are preferred targets.
Previous reports said that the Mets and Giants had previously chatted with Valdez. King is on the radar of the Tigers and Cubs. There are contenders in play for these same guys.
Signing a free agent is their plan A for acquiring starting pitching depth. What we are hearing confirms the willingness to cough up a draft pick to make a big signing. Both have a qualifying offer attached to them.
That being said, they are willing to go out on the trade market if needed and in a specific circumstance. Plan B is to make a deal for Milwaukee Brewers right-hander Freddy Peralta.
The 2025 All-Star has been rumored to be a trade candidate since the start of the offseason. What we are hearing lines up with previous speculation as to the type of moves the Braves could make. The Athletic’s Jim Bowden suggested the Braves make a move for Peralta, and part of that suggestion included a potential trade piece that would likely be dealt in this scenario.
The Brewers would likely want to make the centerpiece of the return the Braves’ No. 2 prospect, JR Ritchie. However, the Braves would likely prefer to hang onto Ritchie. They see him as a key piece of their future. They would likely prefer to make the centerpiece of the deal Hurston Waldrep, who showed significant promise once she was called up toward the end of last season.
Another player would likely be dealt along with one of the two names. The Braves would like to know whether an extension would be in play. They wouldn’t want to make the move for strictly a rental.
However, the Brewers want to get a trade done during the offseason. If he’s on the roster during the regular season, it would put them in a bind. They don’t see him as someone they’ll be able to keep around, but if they’re contending, they can’t trade him at the deadline. He would have to stick around for a push, and then he would walk.
Meanwhile, the Braves are pushing to have a top-five payroll in the league for next season. That puts them in the position to take on one of the two possible free-agent signings or take on a contract extension in a potential trade.
