Memories


In this game, there are seven 3-D blocks shaped in specific ways meant to make various shapes on cards. I was playing around trying to solve a shape puzzle from one of the cards, but I ended up making this interesting looking corner. It reminded me of my city of origin. Maybe I'll make a tribute to it later.

Yes, modern architecture. I'm a very big fan. You can't blame me. I lived in a completely-designed and well thought-out urban environment. What luck to be able to read about my very childhood neighborhood from some architecture book. No, I'm middle class. I lived in one of the townhouses, not the villas. You'll see more when I show you the city later.

The truth is - I'm discovering - it's not really about the architecture, although it is pretty. And it's not about the city, although it is nostalgic. It is about the memories. And those exist in the past... and that resides in me. And that is an innate vehicle for joy. And what I'd like to remember is that comes from me and is within me... every moment; not from a decaying, prefabricated city-project, in a desert, in some third world, closed, oil rich country.
