Chris Jordan - In Katrina's Wake. This series, photographed in New Orleans in November and December of 2005, portrays the cost of Hurricane Katrina on a personal scale.
Although the subjects are quite different from those in my earlier Intolerable Beauty series, this project is motivated by the same concerns about our runaway consumerism. There is evidence to suggest that Katrina was not an entirely natural event like an earthquake or tsunami. The 2005 hurricane season's extraordinary severity can be linked to global warming, which America contributes to in disproportionate measure through our extravagant consumer and industrial practices.
