The pandemic may have officially ended two years ago, but we still feel its impact. Artist Monica Moore wants to help the community in processing grief through “The Hearts Project”. Her work has become a collaborative effort between her and Life Styles, a nonprofit organization dedicated to supporting adults with disabilities.

For Monica Moore, remembrance has always been an act of creation. She started cutting out paper hearts in the spring of 2020, one for each life lost to COVID-19.

The public health emergency of the COVID-19 pandemic may have ended, but the impact of lives lost will be felt forever. Monica Moore is a local artist whose most recent project captures the emotions and aftermath of the pandemic while honoring those who served and the more than 13,000 Arkansans who passed away.

As visitors make their way through the lobby of the Fort Smith Regional Art Museum (RAM) and up the stairs, they are met with a simple yet profound installation: 2,700 hand-cut paper hearts, each symbolizing an Arkansan who died as a result of covid-19.
