200 thousand flags in Congress representing COVID-19 victims

A unique and grim art project called “in America: How could this happen...” opened in the country's capital last days. The project aims to draw attention to the victims caused by the David-19 pandemic in the United States.

In the U.S. capital, an artistic installation of over 200,000 white flags is a grim reminder of the number of Americans who have died of the koronobius.

The author, an artist from Maryland, says that after every number added to death statistics, there is a human life.

I just couldn't let people be numbers. So I started the project in mid-August in an effort to express this large number (victims) through visual art! I want people to understand the broadness of this American tragedy. ”

To implement the project, Suzanne Firstenberg requested the assistance of a local garden maintenance company.

When Suzanne presented this amazing vision, we thought it was an excellent opportunity to show more emphasis on flags and losses from Covid-19 in the United States”, said Kyle Meissner from the company “Ruppert Landscape”.

Among those attending the opening ceremony were some people who had lost loved ones to the Coronobrus.

“We are here today to honor Rick and we also want to call on people to use masks, respect physical distance and other measures to protect their families. The leaders of all levels in our country and the leaders of businesses should intensify their efforts to curb the choreography because this should not happen”, said Branda Taylor, family victim of the Coronavirus victim.

A large panel reflecting the number of people who have died in the United States since the beginning of the coronary pandemic has been placed in the center of the exhibition. Every day until mid-November, new flags that match grim statistics will be added. /The Voice of America/
