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 capturing the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina. The image depicts a dilapidated house in New Orleans, its exterior marred by graffiti that speaks volumes about the devastation and despair that followed the storm. The words "The End" painted across the wall and the ominous message "Do Not Enter" on the front door serve as stark reminders of the loss and displacement experienced by many. This photograph, taken between 2005 and 2010, serves as a powerful document of the hurricane's impact on the city, offering a glimpse into the struggles and resilience of its residents in the wake of disaster.
