Street Peace Project
Memorial
The Street Peace Project - The Memorials, is about how a neighborhood, my neighborhood, tries to heal from so much violence. I have lived here for 30 years, and especially in the past few years, there has been a lot of deadly crime only blocks away from my home. Most of the victims are under the age of 20. Our families and friends have set up street memorials to express their love and honor those who have been killed. As a photographer, I started photographing the memorials in my neighborhood to give them lasting tribute. The project has shown how much people want to be positive and supportive of each other and where we live. The memorials have taught me how to not dwell on tragedy, rather celebrate the love.
