HOMEPAGE


WHAT DO YOU FEEL ABOUT WHO IS LEFT BEHIND?
HOW DO YOU FEEL WHEN PEOPLE ARE LEFT OUT?

THE DISCARDED is a photographic odyssey through tossed, discarded, and lost face
masks. These are remnants of the COVID-19 pandemic – paired with captions and
quotes from people in prison. This is a project of empathy to humanize people
left in the margins with the masks as a metaphor to cast light on the landscape
of “The Discarded” — the people left as outsiders and not remembered.

As the founder of the unPrison Project, I have stood face-to-face with more than
30,000 people in prisons across the United States. This includes incarcerated
women, men, and youth. Furthermore, my work places me in sync with voices of
people who society discards – the unremembered.

In conclusion, THE DISCARDED is a collection of hundreds of pages of writing
submitted from people in prisons around the country, and more than 1800 images
of discarded face masks. These photos were taken across the U.S. — Washington,
Oregon, Wisconsin, Minnesota, New York, Ohio, Texas, Massachusetts, New
Hampshire, Washington DC, Florida, and even a few from the Equator.

The full collection will populate this site over time. The intention is to help
raise voices that haven’t been heard. To help us all remember the unremembered.
What do you feel about who is left out and left behind?
