A Place To Die

Brooklyn, New York

  • This story takes place at a house unlike any other in the United States. There are no permanent residents. Each visit is facilitated by a death doula. Terminally ill people visit this house to drink a life-ending medication and spend their final hours.

    This project explores how some people choose to encounter their own death: from community and access, care-giving and medical aid, to the intimate process of dying and the tenderness of grieving.

    While death often happens behind closed doors and in clinical settings, these photographs are an invitation to look at an inevitable aspect of life in a new way.
