- Floodwall, an installation by Jana Napoli, is composed of drawers salvaged in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina in New Orleans in 2005. In 2005, two months after Hurricane Katrina and the collapse of the levee system, Napoli collected debris from the storm. She retrieved 750 drawers from dressers, kitchen cabinets, desks and bureaus. The empty drawers were cleaned, and the addresses of the houses were marked on the back. Napoli stated that "Floodwall was made in an attempt to give voice to the silence of a city in ruin and a people in diaspora." The contents that remained were then photographed. The resulting objects along with the recorded oral histories make up the installation. Floodwall poses the question to its onlookers: what price are we willing to pay for the protection of the intimacy of our households? (en)
