S-I-N-K. You know the feeling. That sinking feeling where you think you’re on solid ground. But everything’s falling apart.

To live in New Orleans is to live near the water. We breathe it in our air. We feel it on our skin and under our feet.

I wanted to know about the science of the ground sinking beneath us. And maybe by looking at subsidence of Louisiana soil while simultaneously learning more about the housing policies rooted upon this earth…maybe I could think about all of this in a new way. Maybe I can learn more about my part in this ecosystem. And work to make changes for the benefit of all involved.
