Gesture, from the essay "My Americana"
An African American male gestures as he passes U.S. Army soldier Christian Garcia, during protests sparked by the murder of George Floyd. Gesture. June 2020. From My Americana, a long-term in depth photo-essay on the United States. Started in 2015 with the intention of recording a contemporary body of images which depict the USA and its people. In 2020 the COVID-19 pandemic, civil unrest and a divided electorate sent the project in a differing direction.
