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 likely taken in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina. The image captures the desolation of the city, with a white van bearing the inscription "5 dogs - 9ct 2 / 9/20 / and 1 dog dead / pray for / them / pick." The graffiti highlights the human toll of the disaster and serves as a poignant reminder of the resilience of the people who survived. The photograph, which is part of Misrach's ongoing series documenting the effects of the storm, is a powerful testament to the enduring impact of natural disasters.
