Span of the Crescent City

This graphite drawing captures a quiet moment along the Mississippi River, where a steel bridge stretches gracefully between shores. Reflections ripple beneath its structure, softening the strong geometry of iron and concrete. The distant skyline anchors the scene in New Orleans, while the calm water suggests patience, endurance, and connection. The piece honors the bridge not just as architecture, but as a symbol of passage—linking neighborhoods, histories, and lives across the river’s slow, steady flow.
