“Photography is universal language; it doesn’t need translation. Its collective memory is a mirror in which our society continually observes itself…” — Sebastiao Salgado
“Memory is deceptive because it is colored by today’s events.” — Albert Einstein
This memorial contains, among other things, what looks to me a WWII sailor’s uniform. The memorial remains up for most of the year. This home, with its strong visual commitment to memory and national colors, stands uniquely within a working class neighborhood. Additional views can be seen in a slide show here.
