In America: Remember, COVID-19 memorial on National Mall, Washington D.C., United States

The installation spans across the National Mall with white flags planted in rows, each representing an individual who died from COVID-19 in America.

From September 17 to October 3, 2021, the memorial documented the rising death toll, starting at 666,624 and reaching 701,133 Americans lost to COVID-19.

Visitors participate by writing personal messages on flags, creating a collective space for grieving and remembrance of those who died during the pandemic.

The memorial website enables people who cannot visit in person to dedicate flags to their loved ones through an online dedication system.

Each day during the installation period, Firstenberg updated a large numerical display to reflect the increasing number of COVID-19 related deaths.

Location: Washington, D.C.
