A print of The New York Times front page from August 31, 2005, with a headline about New Orleans being flooded after levee failures. The image on the page is altered to include colorful, wavy lines superimposed over a photo of the city, creating a contrast between the real image and the artistic overlay. The artist's signature and a print number (37/60) are visible at the bottom.
