Pictures Worth a Thousand Words

I chose to use photography as a way to portray the experience of the area. What is supposed to be a community space often feels abandoned and restrictive. Looking closer at the base of the Uncle Sam statue, one can see a quote by him stating "The big thing is not what happens to us in life - but what we do about what happens to us." Off to the side of the Uncle Sam statue is a war memorial. This monument adds to the somber feeling in the space. I thought that the quote mentioned above correlated with this memorial and personally, it brought forth a new outlook on the memorial, the space, and perhaps certain political issues that are being dealt with today.
