Taking the culture that once was and converting it into a type of display that can help you remember the past. With buildings having a rapid growth and old ones replacing new, I think that this type of display creates an interesting look. You get to see what once was, and see how it is now. It is almost like going to various places with a historical significance, and learning about that history in that time in place. Nowadays you see this kind of display in museums, but it’s nice to see that they were able to make it relevant to the time today and display it where you wouldn’t expect. The way this canvas is designed makes it nice, because it allows for various repositioning and endurance over time. You figure with people leaning up against the walls, or just walking by and scraping them on accident, you’re going to want something that can stand the test of time, just like the buildings before.
