For our final Studio project, Elise L. and I walked around Williamsburg, Brooklyn, and took photos of the gentrified neighborhood. As two women who grew up in San Francisco and New York City, respectively, we are all too familiar with the changing faces of our hometowns due to gentrification. We have noticed a shift in demographics, in building size and style, and above all else: color. It seems as though our towns have been drained of color, both in the diversity of the people and of the buildings. The new high-rise condos seem drab, all glass and gray. We hope to show the shift between what we enjoy about our cities versus what they are becoming.
