From the day
Perspective: The Future Historian · Sight
The morning sun glints off the vibrant, oversized plastic of a Leonardo action figure discarded on the sidewalk, its green skin clashing with the electric neon spandex of a passing jogger. Headlines at the kiosk scream of Louise Nevelson’s passing, a stark contrast to the chaotic, geometric wood assemblages her ghost leaves behind in this changing skyline. Everything feels transient, yet the chill vibe of Whitney Houston’s voice drifting from a storefront radio suggests a world trying to hold its breath. I watch the silhouettes of shoulder pads move through the haze, unaware that the fiber optic cables being laid beneath our feet are already rewriting their future in light.
