This project, lead by investigative reporters Jim Baumbach, Sandra Peddie, David Schwartz, and Paul LaRocco, looked into the management of a nursing home ravaged by COVID-19. With no access allowed to go inside the nursing home, my task was to help guide visuals for the presentation.

My favorite contribution was a pitch to have a quote as one of the first elements seen:

“They don’t tell you anything, then all of a sudden your mother’s dead.”

The quotes from the loved one’s were a theme throughout. Here, over powerful portraits by photographer Alejandra Villa Loarca, we continue to tell the story through the victim’s families.
