Tuberculosis Ward, Statue Liberty, Island 3, Ellis Island, 1998
I truly feel that it wasn't I who took a lot of these pictures. They were given to me. While studying the dead leaves on this floor, I brought my head up slowly and happened to look around.
At a precise point, about 5 feet 2 inches 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.
