“Researching Thomas More’s Utopia suggested that this was likely farm land – an important part of the synchronicity of life on the island. The book also gave a clue that downstream, just outside the main city walls, is where the livestock slaughtering/butchering would take place. Using these pieces of info, this is a trip downstream along the river, capturing a bit of the cycle of life that goes on here.”

"As this wave from memories flows in, the city soaks it up like a sponge and expands. A description of [the city] as it is today should contain all [the city's] past. The city, however, does not tell its past, but contains it like the lines of a hand, written in the corners of the streets, the gratings of the windows, the banisters of the steps, the antennae of the lightning rods, the poles of the bags, every segment marked in turn with scratches, indentations, scrolls."
