The British artist is known for his iconic images of supermodels and film stars, but his latest exhibition, launched online on Monday, seems tailor made for a world going through a global health crisis.

Digital exhibition, called Lost for Words, was conceived before coronavirus.

The ranking believes it's made his work.

Mawr.

Urgent to things that happened to everybody is you bought, You're born and you die.

We all talk about birth like it's going out of fashion.

None of us talk about death.

You know, death is something that we just want to put into a closet and, you know, forget about it, and most of time, it's because we're scared about it.

Lost for Words is made up of a Siris of portrait shot by Rankin on features a range of people superimposed onto images of their deceased loved ones.

The photos air accompanied by video interviews.

Some of the portrait are well known.

Others are not, such as Wieder Wickham Iraqna, a mother of four from London, she lost her 17 year old son to coronavirus earlier this year because I think the key to dealing with grief is communication.

I think you can't hide grief in a box and close it up and put it away.

It's always going to stay with you.

Um, it Z how you deal with it and who you actually invite to be part of your grief journey to help you through it.

Rankin, who made his name in the nineties co founding Dazed and Confused magazine, hopes his project will give people a safe space to think and talk about death.

Lost for words can be found online on the website of life insurance firm Royal London.
