Statement
For the past two years I have been working with families and individuals who were displaced by Hurricane Katrina in August 2005. "Lost Island" explores the flooding and failed citywide evacuation that left the Morris family trapped in their apartment. The family tells of their escape, forced separation, eventual rescue and migration to California. Set in the remains of their New Orleans home and at their present home in Oakland, the film focuses on the residual dreams, memories and trauma of each family member. The accompanying installation maps their journey using photographs, text and drawings.
