In Tibetan Buddhism bardo is a transitional state, between death and rebirth into the next life. Willie is the Lincoln in the bardo, but Abraham Lincoln is in a transitional state too, grieving for his son and leading his country during an unpopular civil war. Using a minimalist design, I tried to capture that Saunders does not focus his primary attention on Lincoln, but on the spirits who inhabit the cemetery in which his 11-year-old son Willie has been buried.
