Reilly, Shane

Shane Reilly, an Austin-based artist, began sticking flags in his front yard in May of 2020 to honor each Texan lost to the virus. He started the project as a way to encourage his neighbors to pay attention to the seriousness of the pandemic. The installation eventually became an impromptu memorial — and people began traveling from around the city to see it up close. Reilly said that the project had been difficult to keep up with. He had placed over 20,000 flags in the ground, but he regularly updated the sign that stands above the flags, noting the number of Texans who have died. From Shane “I still think that the idea of showing the numbers versus just saying numbers is a powerful message and a powerful reminder,” he said. “It also adds individuality to those that we’ve lost.”
