Description

This fountain is filled in now. It’s a weird feature, asymmetrically clinging to the side of this building. It’s the oddness of this feature that continually draws me in. I have no reminiscences or longing attached to this site, save for the longing that comes from seeing an empty space that should be filled. It sits there now as a niche and pedestal for a thousand constructions in my mind.
