Abundance

Abundance is a house I pass most days on my way to and from my studio in the Gentilly neighborhood -- a predominantly Black, suburban neighborhood in East New Orleans. 

Shaped by postwar planning and later abandonment, and it carries a familiarity that hits me viscerally. It feels so much like my paternal grandparents’ neighborhood in Gulfport—College Park—those middle-class, late-20th-century American promises that were already fraying. 

American optimism built into the landscape. Wide streets, low houses, the interstate always close…

A built environment designed for stability and respectability, now revealing the aftereffects of policy, disinvestment, and racialized economics…

In New Orleans, that legacy surfaces a little differently—more exposed, more literal—showing up in debris, patched infrastructure, and the sense that the neighborhood is carrying burdens it was never meant to absorb.

Hot summer days… there’s something dull about that neighbor’s choice of brick…
