I completed my capstone project, and as part of it, I photographed gentrification in several places. Within the images, you can examine the underlying meanings of things such as how everything is being swept away and we are starting over, which may be beneficial to some but harmful to others. In today’s society, we are okay with removing history and replacing it with new items in order to meet an aesthetic, which is absurd because neighborhood standards have shifted dramatically, both physically and financially. We should start looking about and paying attention to our surroundings since things in our communities change in the blink of an eye.
