The hardcover book is 120 pages of the large-format photography work done as a part of the two award-winning pieces documenting the aftermath of the January 6th, 2021 attack on the US Capitol. The photos and portraits (some of which have never been published before) are paired with the first person accounts of the people who spoke and sat for portraits for the pieces.
