A pale blue clearing opens at the center of a dense teal and rose landscape, surrounded by bending palms, flowering forms, and pale rectangular slabs whose inscriptions dissolve into delicate, illegible marks.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBerkowitz draws on the unusual character of Hollywood Forever, a historic cemetery that is also a gathering place for film, music, and picnics.
