RMS Titanic Centenary Project - 27 /1,600
On October, 31st 2008 I made a decision to dedicate a painting to every person and animal that perished in the sinking of RMS Titanic April, 15th 1912. This resulted in a great deal of research and becoming acquainted with many interesting people, who have supported my endeavours. I then realised that people had died during the building of this magnificent ship and decided to add them to my list. In total I painted 1,600 paintings.
Since 2012 I have been working extensively collating and dedicating each painting to each individual/animal that perished. As you can imagine this is a long process. I have produced a short video which features some of the works, accompanied by my own musical composition. I am presently working on a book to compliment this series.

"Sophie Shapiro's Fading In The Light of Time - Julia Barry is a poignant tribute within her RMS Titanic Centenary Project, which encompasses 1,600 individual paintings honouring each person and animal who perished in the 1912 disaster. This particular piece memorialises Miss Julia Barry, a 26-year-old third-class passenger from Ireland who boarded the Titanic in Queenstown (now Cobh) and tragically lost her life when the ship sank. Her body was never recovered.
The title, Fading In The Light of Time, evokes the ephemeral nature of memory and the passage of time, suggesting that while images may fade, the essence of those remembered endures. Shapiro's dedication to commemorating each individual reflects her belief in the interconnectedness of energy, matter and spirit, aiming to capture the profound journey of life and remembrance through her art.
This work exemplifies Shapiro's commitment to honouring the lives lost in the Titanic tragedy, transforming personal stories into enduring artistic expressions that invite reflection and remembrance." Review by J.V.
I would like to thank everyone who has taken an interest in this project. Many people have written to me from all over the world. Thanking everyone for their support and positive feedback.
