The meaning of the icons in the Stamp of the Post-Katrina Portraits:
Hurricane Katrina forms ...the circle is the eye of the storm, the two semicircles are the arms of the storm ...and hits the Crescent City... New Orleans is the Cresecent City, the crescent is the shape of the Mississippi winding around New Orleans ... the Common Ground Collective forms in the aftermath on September 5th, 2005. Co-founded by hurricane survivors and friends coming to rescue and bring aid and solidarity to friends. The cross refers to Common Grounds free clinics. The fist is the fist of empowerment & solidarity. The hammer is for community-initiated grassroots rebuilding efforts.
Go toCommon Ground Collective to learn how you can contribute to the self-empowerment
of those struggling to work, rebuild and live in the disaster struck areas of North America's Gulf region.
