RMS Titanic Centenary - April 15th 1912 -2012
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.
April 15 2012 - will commemorate the
100th Anniversary of Titanic's sinking.
May They All Rest In Peace

RMS Titanic Centenary April 15th 1912–2012 is a deeply moving artistic tribute commemorating the 100th anniversary of the Titanic's sinking. In this short film, Shapiro presents a selection of her 1,600 paintings, each dedicated to an individual or animal who perished in the disaster, including those who died during the ship's construction. Accompanied by her original musical composition, which serves as a poignant accompaniment to the visual tribute. The music's sombre and reflective tones enhance the emotional depth of the piece, underscoring the themes of loss and remembrance. This auditory element complements the visual narrative, creating a cohesive and immersive experience that honours the memory of those who perished in the Titanic disaster.
Shapiro's meticulous research and heartfelt artistry culminate in a visual elegy that honours each life lost. The inclusion of a quote from the Song of Solomon - “Many waters cannot quench love; neither can floods drown it”- underscores the enduring nature of love and memory.
This work exemplifies Shapiro's commitment to exploring themes of spirituality and human connection through art. Her dedication to memorialising the Titanic's victims serves as a powerful reminder of the impact of collective remembrance."
