Photos: Dia de los Muertos at Hollywood Forever

This year’s Dia de los Muertos at Hollywood Forever was one of the most beautiful, elaborate — and crowded! — yet. The theme was the Monarch butterfly, a symbol of beauty, nature, delicate strength, transformation, and migration. We sent photographer Osceola Refetoff to capture the spirit of the occasion, from the epic designs, remembrances, and offerings across scores of marigold-covered altars, to the performances, art, and outfits that were art in themselves.
