If you had been here, he would not have died resurrects faith challenged by RPG video games theory of organized religion. The protagonist is inspired by narratives of John 11's the Raising of Lazarus and Golden Legend's St. Martha and the Tarasque while he performs within an installation of hundreds individually-colored paper models creating a potential landscape of quietus. The piece is also accompanied by a version of Final Fantasy X's Hymn of the Fayth as the chorale sung by an adolescent boy echoes throughout the durational performance.
