More than 660,000 white flags have been put on display at the National Mall in Washington DC in memory of COVID-19 victims across the country, as seen on Thursday at the National Mall in Washington DC.

The display is called ‘In America: Remember,’ a project organised by artist Suzanne Brennan Firstenberg.

“Outrage, pure outrage, caused me to create that art. I was outraged at the devaluation of the lives of the elderly and the lives of color,” said Firstenberg, adding, “That outrage drove me to buy a quarter of a million flags before I even had a place where to put them.”

The opening of the exhibition has been preceded by a ceremony where invited guests such as Interior Secretary Deb Haaland and DC Mayor Muriel Bowser voiced out the need for the people to be fully vaccinated.

The exhibit will remain open to the public until October 3.
