The pandemic catapulted us into a world of psychological pain. One consequence of this collective trauma is addiction. My art series on #addiction begins this week, art about educating, healing, and protecting ourselves, loved ones, and today's youth. #mentalhealth #emptyfix

Each flag in the installation memorializes a loved one lost to COVID. They are to be preserved as we continue our journey as a country in grief. Message us here to volunteer in Bethesda, MD in the ongoing effort to document and archive each flag.
