I have been trying to do that whole lame, "see outside myself" thing on this trip. I feel like I only have a short time to fully grasp where I am and what is around me here. Perspective is what I yearn for and even if my attempts are futile, they still challenge me a little more than normal. The funny thing is that without even trying that hard this city has made me question. My eyes are such an integral part of my thoughts that so many things I see are affecting me. I am asking myself things, wondering, looking around for more. I thought of the artist Richard Serra and his big core-ten installations. You walk around these looming walls of steel and explore them with your eyes and create relationships between you and it. The experience is supposed to be self exploration through experience on a minimalist scale. I think this is exactly what I am doing. Walking through a maze of city, swirling in and out of blocks, seeing myself there comparatively.
