Artist Kristina Libby and the Arizona nonprofit Marked by COVID teamed up to create a COVID-19 memorial. The memorial features a digital art piece showing flower petals falling from a rose. Each petal represents one person, and every two seconds represents one day. Libby also started the Floral Heart Project, another flower art project honoring COVID-19 victims.
