In response to the devastation of Hurricane Katrina, Davis, who grew up in Mississippi, designed a 106-foot-tall piece that is both a work of art and an act of defiance. Here, bolts of lighting spark from a 1/10th scale model of the sculpture dubbed Call Me Ishmael.
"The hurricane is like Moby Dick, and this sculpture is like Ahab grabbing onto the storm and hurling energy back into the sky," Davis says.
