Even after going back to my place a few more times, I'm still unsure as to what to do about my subjective drawings. There are just so many things I want to explore, and it's hard to tie everything together with a central theme. I think what's most compelling about this place is that even though it's relatively empty of simultaneous activity, people have left proof of their presence in the form of confetti, cigarette butts, and graffiti all over trees and benches, despite signs asking people to respect the space. There are all these moments of permanence touched by the ephemeral.
Whenever I stay for a prolonged period, I see very interesting people pass through this space. There are well-dressed sophisticated people on bikes, well-dressed people with their children, and well-dressed and possibly delinquent youths hanging out. I love this convergence of types of people. I'm a little conflicted because I love the idea of the anonymity and abstraction found in the former idea, but I'm still trying to figure out how to combine that with the distinction in personality found in the latter. Whatever, I still have four days.
