I took this picture while on a BLM march. The officer standing on the roof of the police station
was one of a few who were taking pictures of the crowd. I believe the image has a lonely quality
to it, given the empty windows, lone figure, and grey clouds. Loneliness has been a key factor in
the pandemic, and this gets that across fairly well. It also shows the social turmoil going on
underneath, both in its context of the establishment surveying the protest going on below, and
the imagery of the authority of these times standing atop a building that seems hollow on a
faded world.
