Untitled [New Orleans and the Gulf Coast, 2005] Possibly 2005 - 2010

Richard Misrach's *Untitled [New Orleans and the Gulf Coast, 2005]* is a poignant photograph depicting the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina in New Orleans. The image, taken sometime between 2005 and 2010, showcases a damaged house with a hand-painted sign that reads, "Elvis has left the house." This powerful symbol of displacement and loss reflects the devastating impact of the hurricane on the city and its inhabitants. Misrach's work is known for its documentary style and its exploration of the human impact on the environment. The image, part of his ongoing series documenting the Gulf Coast, serves as a stark reminder of the vulnerability of human communities in the face of natural disaster.
