Cover Photograph: This statue in front of
the Motherhouse of the Sisters of Our Lady
of Mount Carmel was almost completely
submerged during the flooding of New
Orleans. The lines on the statue and base
show the slow draining of the city.
The orange spray-painted “X” behind the
statue appears on almost every building in
New Orleans. This shows that the building
had been searched by a rescue squad. The
markings state the date of the search, how
many bodies were discovered, and how
many people and pets were still inside.
