You Are Beautiful by Robin Reid


You Are Beautiful © Robin Reid 


Visiting New Orleans last year was an emotional experience viewing their mixed attempts to recover from Katrina.  The motivating icons for the locals seemed to be The Saints football team and the rebirth of tourism personified by Jackson Square an the French Quarter.  But as I viewed the wreckage along the shore from a tour boat in the Mississippi, I was struck by how in many ways the city still looks like a bombed out area from World War II.  

My collage is my attempt to capture both the beauty and the pathos of the region.
