For our project, we chose to take the idea that the west village is used to be an area with a dark and dirty past towards the gay community but now it is an area that is beautiful and celebrates the gay community. We wanted to play with the juxtaposition of dirty gross trash that it once was and transform it into something that was put together, modern, sleek, and even beautiful. we used a map to show where we gathered the garbage by going to areas that were significant areas for the gay community. Although it was not an obvious symbol of what had happened in the west village the piece was meant to be seen as a metaphor of change.
