Memorialized

When the city seems impersonal and distant, all it takes is for me to come across a memorial to know I'm in a close-knit community.  My favorites are the ones done by street artists: a public display of love, affection and heartbreak created by friends and family.  In a city of 8 million, these individuals and their stories are not lost or forgotten.
