In the wake of the Boston Marathon bombings of April 2013, Murphy made headlines for her photo series "To Boston. From Kabul. With Love." The photos in the series depicted sympathetic Kabul locals holding a handmade sign that said "TO BOSTON FROM KABUL WITH LOVE" that was originally made by Murphy for her own self portrait to send home. Murphy was quoted by the Huffington Post as saying, "My intent changed as I talked to people here about what had happened – many had heard the news – and I saw the pain in their faces, and reminders of their own hardships. They said, “I’m so sorry,” with that defining head shake that doesn’t need another word of explanation; it says, “I understand.”
