Taylor's image was shared and seen by millions during the resurgence of the Black Lives Matter movement. Campos-Pons was inspired by the beauty of Taylor's brown eyes while simultaneously devastated by the state's refusal to protect Black women's right to life--their lives mourned with the photographed and painted flowers seen here."
