Remnants

I'm capturing the changes happening at Horton Plaza, where it's becoming a mix of a school, a digital hub, and who knows what else. As a kid, I didn't like malls. But now, with my camera, it's turned into something completely different. It doesn't follow the usual mall look with its angles and conformity. The charm comes from its uniqueness, a deviation from the norm. Through my lens, I see the slow erosion over time. It's like watching a beloved uncle suddenly age, with wrinkles telling stories and vitality fading away. Horton Plaza used to be a bustling shopping center, but now it's gracefully aging during redevelopment. I feel a strange fondness for documenting its changes, capturing the connection between the past and present. My dislike for malls has turned into an unexpected affection, as if the deterioration itself has a story to tell - a narrative told through the fading echoes of commerce and whispers of transformation.
