Photo by @stephenwilkes: In the southern shadows of Ellis Island's Great Hall, forgotten by history and ill-equipped in its battle with nature, I came upon the ruins of a vast hospital: the infectious disease wards and isolation rooms for the people whose spirits carried them across oceans but whose bodies failed them, just inches from paradise.
This image was taken in the Tuberculosis Ward. While studying the dead leaves on the floor I brought my head up slowly and at about 5 ft off the ground, I saw the Statue of Liberty reflected in the mirror. I suddenly imagined a petite Eastern European woman rising out of her bed every morning. Seeing that reflection would be the closest she would ever come to freedom.

This photograph and others from the series will be on view at the Peter Fetterman Gallery in Santa Monica beginning this Friday thru April 29. I will be at the gallery on Saturday and encourage anyone in LA to stop by, see the work, and say hello!
