The Lost consists of small portraits of imagined faces. Each portrait is a stand-in for a person who was murdered in Chicago in 2014. I have researched the gender, race, and age statistics of Chicago murder victims in an attempt to render analogs for those we lost this year due to violence. The total number of murder victims for the year was 456; this project is ongoing.
