Patrick, Palm Sunday, Baton Rouge, LA
2003

A man in a light beige suit and tie with an American flag pattern stands amidst a scene of disarray, holding a large green leaf and a book. Overhead, wisteria vines with purple flowers drape from a tree branch. Debris, including wooden planks and a corrugated metal sheet, is scattered on the ground around him. A trailer is partially visible in the background to the left, and there's a blue car in the far background.
