Summary:
"Adrianna Ault was raised in New Orleans where a 350 mile levee system controls and holds back flood waters. This project began as Ault attempted to better understand the landscape surrounding the city, but evolved over the course of 5-years to encompass her changing family, journeys they took and the processing of grief. The levee became a metaphor for the barriers built in an attempt to ward off inevitable decline, and the onslaught of time and nature. Ault began photographing in 2017 and the final images in this new book were made in 2022. Alongside photographs of the landscape of New Orleans and the Hudson Valley, she photographed her children, and her mother's final car journey from Rhinebeck, NY to her mother's home in New Orleans, LA. The act of making photographs allowed Ault to see and process the world in a different way, with a quietness and slowness--and in this she found sanctuary." --Publisher's website.
