Irreplaceable: Taken by the Pandemic

This series of nine portraits include some of the first New Orlenians killed by Covid-19. Each portrait has been gifted to the families of the deceased. Four of them were selected for display at the Ogden Museum for their annual Louisiana Contemporary show in 2021.
Many thanks go out to those who contributed to make this series possible; it could not have been done with you.
