back to central square today to check out more of this art i found a couple weeks ago. i did a little research and discovered the artist ritsuko taho. the info i found said that she did this installation, entitled "multicultural manifestos" to explore the, "intersection between public spaces and private thought".
central square is such an active, eclectic space. i mentioned before that this particular space is where the homeless typically gather, especially at night, as it contains several large benches (un)ideal for sleeping. in that sense, it seems that this is the perfect place for manifestos. bold statements of hopes and dreams nestled amongst a place that typically reeks of hopelessness and despair.
this is just heartbreaking. i hope this parent got what they wanted.
the foreign ones strike me as more beautiful and more painful than the others. that distance can be empowering, or devastating.
that's the cool thing about dreams. sometimes you don't know what they are. sometimes when you let go of what you thought you wanted, you find something even more amazing.
and i'll leave you with that to ponder.
