A return to the source


For me this is the only piece that I feel has been complete. Because of the scale it's more difficult to appreciate because at 9'9 by 5'9 it is meant to be seen and touched and smelled and experienced in person. Shrinking it down to less than 5 inches makes it appear jumbled and messy at first glance but once you key in on each part of it you can almost create a story out of it and perhaps enjoy my experience in Africa almost as much as I did. This is my visual journal of Dakar Senegal and I'm glad I got a chance to take part in this. I hope to go back soon.
