Personal is Political

Many people took to the streets in response to the murder of George Floyd on May 25 2020. Being near the physical center of a protest is naturally a very shared experience and  expression, but as individuals people were also dealing with their own emotions and past experiences. I became interested in the fringes, the people on the edges of the protests, rallies and demonstrations in Jersey City, photographing moments of quiet reflection, of grieving and loss and frustration.
