This 2500-square foot banner mural is hosted by LePavillon Hotel. A digital collage, it combines a documentary photograph of New Orleanians boarding a school bus to escape Katrina's rising waters with Michelangelo's fresco of "The Flood," painted in 1510 for the Sistine Chapel. Both narratives describe the fall or failure of a civilization and simultaneously celebrate individual acts of heroism and humanity.
