When photographer and writer Cig Harvey found out her best friend Mary was diagnosed with terminal leukemia, she did what she knew best: made photographs. As Mary faced isolation and debilitating treatment, Cig set out to bring the world to Mary.
Over the coming years, Cig captured and sent Mary images of beauty, life, and color. Images that evoked the sensual, the sacred, the delicate, and the brave. Images exploding with color, piercing with light, evoking the pain and beauty of life, even as we face death.
