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

Richard Misrach's "Untitled [New Orleans and the Gulf Coast, 2005]" is a powerful photograph that captures the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina in New Orleans. The image shows a crucifix propped up on a wooden plank, surrounded by debris and a sign that reads, "Keep the Faith." The crucifix, a symbol of Christian hope and resilience, stands in stark contrast to the devastation of the storm. This work is a poignant reminder of the human spirit in the face of adversity and reflects Misrach's focus on documenting the impacts of natural disasters and their influence on American landscapes.
