    Ode to Brooklyn Ironwork

    Fences, gates, fire escapes, and window coverings in neighborhoods along the Brooklyn–Queens border are often decorated with ornate steelwork and ironwork. These decorative structures create an expansive visual system that helps give the area its distinctive appearance.

    My handbound booklet of original photography and short written pieces showcases the striking aesthetics of this metalwork while meditating on its deeper social and sentimental value as a symbol of Bushwick and Ridgewood. In my essays, I explore concepts such as sense of place, pedestrianism as a conscious cultural practice, and the routines of modern urban life.
