Earlier this year, I photographed gardeners Maxine Webb and Thomas Arrington and park worker, Rosa Rosado at Fort Greene Park for Community Heroes. Community Heroes is a public art project celebrating the everyday heroes of our neighborhoods in NY. This is the second time I’ve been commissioned for this project.

The banners went up on June 28, 2024. The exhibit will be up in Fort Greene Park in Brooklyn, NY until July 2025.
