Reemergence

Top: "sidewallk, constructed tiles removed; leaves = changing season? → deeper meaning; construct to obscure what lies beneath; past monarchy = castle, lingering effects?; despite being hidden, dirt beneath arises → restoration version of revolution, tie in with Arendt well; the past remains even if we try to ignore it." Bottom: image of a tiled street sidewalk with several tiles misplaced and the dirt from underneath built to resemble a sandcastle.
Top: Notes and observations on the image from my red notebook: “sidewalk, constructed tiles removed; leaves=changing season? –> deeper meaning; construct to obscure what lies beneath; post-monarchy=castle, lingering effects?; despite being hidden, dirt beneath arises –> restoration version of revolution, tie in with Arendt well; the past remains even if we try to ignore it.”
