Richard Misrach's photograph, *Untitled [New Orleans and the Gulf Coast, 2005]*, captures the devastation left behind after Hurricane Katrina. The image depicts a white Jaguar car partially buried in debris, a poignant reminder of the material losses suffered by many residents. A hand-painted sign leaning against the car reads, "Family Home $200K Classic Jaguar $5K Insurance Won't Pay- Worthless," highlighting the financial hardships faced by those affected by the disaster. The photo's stark realism serves as a powerful testament to the destructive force of natural disasters and their impact on individuals and communities.
