Item description
Pictured in black and white from the knees up, a person stands in a brightly lit hospital hallway, waving to the viewer. Their clothes are all black, a striking difference from their white surroundings. Their shirt reads “I am freaking essential”, and they are wearing a black COVID face mask that reads “black lives matter”.

Healthcare is Human 4

I am uploading photographs I captured during the pandemic. The series is called Healthcare is Human. During lockdown, my friend who is a doctor called me and told me about an idea he had. He wanted to go into the hospital and talk to all of the workers about their experience working during the pandemic. He would voice record interviews with them and I would capture images. When Dr. McCarthy brought this idea I was so excited and ready to collaborate! Together, we created an audio and video record of our local pandemic response in West Virginia. To date, we have the audio for twenty podcast episodes and I have taken over 500 photos.
