  • Five People, One Moment - Flags of America - Suzanne

    Suzanne is a visual artist who had an exhibition on the National Mall in September of 2021. The art installation consisted of white flags, each one repricenting one life that was lost to COVID-19 in the United States. She shares who the exhibition started, what it means to her, and it became a place for people to give the people they'd lost with family, friends, and strangers.
