September 14, 2021 - Spaces in between buildings where the horizon has broken and the first glints of the day hold in the air for a while, waiting.

Light in the city makes itself known through shadows. Spaces in between buildings where the horizon has broken and the first glints of the day hold in the air for a while, waiting. From afar ––– for instance, when examining the city’s skyline from a distance ––– Jersey or Brooklyn perhaps, these spaces in between buildings are difficult, if not impossible to see. From those viewpoints all of the buildings coalesce ––– they become one: “The Skyline.” But once you reach the island, and you begin walking along the sidewalks that line its avenues, and moving across its streets, those spaces in between buildings are evident ––– they’re clear. All of the value of the city lies within their clarity. And the whole world of the city rests within those spaces.
