WE . RECOLLECTING THE PIECES

One thing is clear by now... we would need another month traveling to achieve interesting word-constructions! We are running after our megalomaniac schedule, this time we were in a hurry to start a 15 hour drive to New Mexico.

Anyway, we made an effort to "make sense" out of the construction of the word we. We knew about the reconstruction effort being made at the Lower 9th Ward (see previous post) so we went there to build the word from the Songline.

After a brief survey of the place we found a sewer access saying water, which sounded appropriate for our purpose. We then collected garbage and things that were left abandoned after the hurricane: bottles, rubber, wire, one ring... The wreckage of previous occupancy. After the recollection we organized the pieces into the word we. Trying to make sense out of devastation.
