This digital drawing depicts the portrait of a loved one lost to the COVID19 pandemic and highlights upon his collar how “hope is all many of us will have left,” as communities across the nation navigate the public health crisis. It was created as part of a public art series at Harvard University and will be installed across Cambridge, MA, throughout the 2020 summer.

via Window at Harvard:

While many within the Harvard community are separated from the physical campus and some of our buildings are empty, this exhibition aims to enliven and fill those spaces with large-scale displays of art.

Windows of Harvard will provide an opportunity to connect our community by “virtually visiting” our beloved campus through the online presentation of remarkable installations in our campus windows. Those still residing and working on campus are acutely feeling the absence of student, friends and colleagues; so, too, are those learning and working remotely. This display intends to close that distance by providing the unique reciprocal experience that is the creation and appreciation of art. While future plans may be uncertain, this exhibition aims to bring the Harvard community together in the present moment to remind us of the beauty that endures.
