This art piece was created during my senior year in college. It’s meant to mimic my interpretation of the split between the old DC and the new DC. The idea of a split street came to me one day while driving down New York Ave. NE. On one side I saw new apartment buildings going up and on the other I saw the version of DC I grew up seeing. While one could argue that new development is good, it ‘s also important to consider the underlying issues that come with stripping a city of it ‘s history, culture, and native people.
