Midway through the project, Taylor died after a long struggle with congestive heart failure. Her passing brought a heavier weight to Opie's work, and it became a race against the clock to finish up before Taylor's possessions were sold.
Opie's goal was to create a portrait of Taylor through her personal belongings - the decor of her home, the carefully laid out Chanel shoes, and of course, her prized jewelry collection.
Although the two never met, Opie felt a connection with Taylor from the start.
"Elizabeth was an incredibly talented actor, and an even more impressive businesswoman who was important in starting amfAR and bringing awareness to AIDS as an activist," Opie told Business Insider.
The entire series, comprised of 129 images, can be found in the book "700 Nimes Road".
