"Open to the Public" is a long-form photographic exploration of Chicago's West Loop neighborhood, presented lyrically through visual references to funerary themes and iconography. The neighborhood has undergone sweeping waves of demolition and development, Once a blue-collar area known for meatpacking houses, fish markets, warehouses, and factories, the West Loop has now shifted to fine dining, high-end retail boutiques, hi-rise condominiums and luxury hotels.
