Disappearing Marsh Project
The photographed wetlands in Louisiana are wearing their own system of analysis. These hot, soft marshes are as lush as a chiffon gown, resilient as a deep ops chopper. They float behind a painted geometric code—a discreet abstraction as well as a narrative on the site it obscures. The story suggests alternately that the marsh is dissolving, radiant, vulnerable to both politics and hurricanes, calm and lovely as a Bodhisattva.
