Cityscapes

Some of Dusti Bongé’s better known and most beloved early works are her cityscapes of her hometown, Biloxi. They are exemplary versions of her unique cubist style. In addition, they offer a glimpse into history, to a bygone era when the presence of the seafood industry in Biloxi was a much more dominant aspect of the cityscape.
