Ben Looper and his mother created"The Butterfly Project," to commemorate Georgetown residents who died of COVID. Their art installation is on display at Lark & Owl Booksellers.The 10-year-old sat at a table alongside his mother, Donna, transforming sheets of white paper into miniature origami butterflies."My mom wanted to … make something that showed people how ... COVID affected ... people’s lives and stuff," Ben said.
Ben and his mother turned to the art form to process this loss, as well as to help their neighbors better understand the toll the virus was taking on the community.Years ago, she worked as a child life specialist at Dell Children's Medical Center in Austin and Baylor Scott and White in Temple. She was responsible for helping children and families cope with the challenges of hospitalization and illness.
This became particularly challenging after the delta and omicron variants emerged. Looper said it was difficult to keep up with the number of deaths occurring every day.
