Welcome to the new world of Louisiana ~ our post-Katrina, post-Rita, post-Gustav, post-Ike, post-BP Oil Gusher, post-toasties, Whatever World. We who survived will never be the same; we have changed. Our world has changed. And with that, our priorities and values evolved. Such were the lessons we learned about material things.Those fanciful, pretty, expensive, popular, enviable things are things that rot; they are things that mold, things that decay. They splinter, they warp, they rust; they shrink, fade, dissolve or decompose. Those things just don't matter as they once did. Yet what remains is greater, more beautiful, more precious, more fragile, more fleeting and a tremendous responsibility given into our loving care.
This series is a tribute to all that remained once the waters receeded and to what truly matters, pointedly framed in the battered discards of what we thought was so important. It is up to each of us as to whether we will become embittered or to re-purpose the debris of our lives into a thing of true beauty.
