USA. Mississippi. Biloxi. Aftermath of hurricane Katrina. In a garden, behind the church, two statues of the Virgin Mary, the Queen of Peace. One praying and another on her knees. Most houses were destroyed by the storm, the tidal surge (water wave) and the floods. The area is now empty and all its inhabitants have left away. The people could no longer and ever live again in the houses. The entire area needs to be bulldozed before any new construction can be built. Household waste. Destruction of the urban american way of life.© 2005 Didier Ruef
