Occidental College professor Mary Beth Heffernan works on her PPE Portrait Project at ELWA II’s Ebola Treatment Unit (ETU) in Monrovia, Liberia on Sunday, March 1, 2015. Her project involves photographing health care workers and then making disposable, adhesive prints of their images, which are then placed on the worker’s PPE (personal protective equipment) used to protect themselves when caring for patients.
ELWA II has one of the largest numbers of Ebola patients in Liberia at the moment and was the first ETU to open in Monrovia, Liberia’s capital city.
