The Trace Vincent Alban has been photographing the Curry family since 2022. His body of work documents grief in the wake of gun violence over time, not only in the immediate aftermath. On a crisp fall day in 2022, Titiana Bogar-Curry stood in front of her home in Rochester, New York, among her son’s friends. They were gathered to memorialize Ly’Saun Curry, her 18-year-old son, on the second anniversary of his death. Ly’Saun was shot and killed on October 2, 2020.
