Mapping Brooklyn

“As an artifact, land-and the structures we build upon it-carries our experiences, memories, and voices.” I appreciated this quote by Jennifer Maravillas. 71 square miles from 2012-2015 it took her to walk and collect a piece of litter paper to create the 10 x 10 map. For someone to take that much time and effort to create and share this map with us, that interested me. I don’t believe my perspective changed on maps, but it did remind me how small we are in this vast universe. If I could visualize my daily life on a map, I would probably want to capture those unforgettable moments I’ve had in my life, in the different locations they took place on a map. It would be interesting because I can look back at my life when I get older (younger), and possibly share it with my family in the future.
