Seeking in Nola, New Orleans, LA
Some Remedy
By Rogers S. Walker
Artist: Rogers S. Walker
Project: “Some Remedy”
Description: “Some Remedy” documents one family’s journey from Wilmington, North Carolina, to Houston, Texas, in search of a cure. The project records a road trip through the Deep South to seek treatment for a family member’s breast cancer. The photographs in the project depict the complex and sometimes jarring juxtapositions of illness, pastoral beauty, tenderness, and conflict. We see a father’s good humor and determination to find a cure for his daughter, and we experience the wonder and closeness that can still blossom amid grave sickness and struggle.
The work aims to capture the dynamic complexity of both the region and the experience of living with cancer, a struggle that can also force closeness and appreciation for the beauty that persists beyond illness.
