These Corona busts are my response to Covid-19, and a way of examining my fear of losing loved ones, particularly at this time. Early on in the pandemic, I was numbed through conversations with friends and family in Italy and Spain, where many deaths were occurring. In these moments, I imagined those I loved dead. These photographs became my remembrance and revere of those people close to me, confronting my fear of the possibility of losing them. In these images, I have composed these portraits to resemble sculptural busts.
