The uneven outcome of decades of fossil fuel extractive economies of growth is clearly visible in the skylines of cities: indulgence or negligence abound. Louisiana, in the Gulf of Mexico, is one such example. Furthermore, it is subjected to the environmental alteration of the gigantic Mississippi watershed, and on the trajectory of hurricanes and their climatic consequences. Through an engaged, anti-heroic, close-up narrative, artist Virginia Hanusik visually describes an instance of the result of the environmental engineering of deep soil and water bodies, prompting questions, and an introduction, to reflect upon what is to grow or degrowth.
