Handmade postcard of wooden stumps in water with a dark blue border. Artist Statement: "What was formerly a bait shack on Matlacha Isle's, has turned into a jarring reminder of the pain our community has felt. Destroyed by Hurricane Ian in 2022, years later this community has yet to recoup from the destruction fully. These sawed off stilts are all that remain of this bait shack, they can be seen across the island in little gaps in the landscape."

An interior view of the original part of the Sanibel Community Church, built in 1917. The non-denominational church was the only one on Sanibel for many years. Sanibel's first church, built on the Gulf of Mexico at the present Casa Ybel Resort, was destroyed in the 1910 hurricane. Pews and some stained glass from that church were reinstalled in this building when it was constructed.
