Iconic images include portraits such as 'Cookie at Tin Pan Alley, New York City (1983)', offering vivid glimpses of individual personalities and communal life. The body of work preserves cultural memory of downtown New York in the 1980s while honoring lives affected by the AIDS crisis. The collection functions as both celebration and elegy for an era defined by creativity, risk, and profound loss.
