Contrast and Contradiction

 

 

"New York is the quintessence of contrast, if not contradiction: a progressive neighborhood that forces the shutdown of a hotel converted into a homeless shelter; a group of volunteers who tends to gardens and disdains its fellow man; luxury pet stores in front of which homeless people sleep; the closure of a futurist tower because of several suicides due to a lack of a future... A frenetic anthill, full of people in search of a pipe dream or sustenance, that demands continues movement, like a cyclist's to avoid falling from a bike."
