Reflections


   I would like to thank Tina and Joe for the talk we had the other day at Kam’s grad dinner (also thanks Kam for having me there!) The asphalt series was very much motivated by our talk about the sense of separation of communities in Los Angeles.

   While I am very grateful that I am surrounded by such intelligent and inspiring people in my community, I cannot help but think about the disconnection between my community and others in this exact same geo-location. I can’t say if they are compatible, but they do co-exist, and pondering the relationship between the communities allows me to reflect on my experience with the places that I have lived in and grown an attachment to and to put together this project.
