Mourning America
Mourning America
The day after Republicans in the United States Senate voted against hearing evidence in the Impeachment trial of the 45th President, I began a series of portraits on the theme of mourning in America. Informed by the 1960s funeral photographs of Jackie Kennedy, Coretta Scott King and Betty Shabbaz, Mourning America is an expression of collective grief and an expression of a refusal to be powerless. As the global pandemic swept across the world, one kind of national grief exploded into a much deeper and more expansive sorrow.
