The assignment was to interpret my impression of the site, convey what my program (that I am developing) means and exhibit my understanding of a particular word; which in this case was the word deserted. I chose this word because when I first visited the site that's what I experienced.
My impression of the site was very dramatic. During my visit , I felt that Red Hook was lost/trapped in time, vicinity seemed very linear, empty, mechanical and industrial. Although the neighbourhood has a rich history, it certainly did not feel alive.
How can one be so close to the busy city which calls for a restless life: be able to step away from it prioritizing themselves, and indulge in some sort of relaxation ?! Up next is my program.This is my interpretation of reconnecting with inner piece , nature and still be circulating around the busy city life. Therefore, as you can see the city is in the center of it all, almost has a faded visibility and all other activities are revolving around it.
Lastly, is my interpretation of the word deserted. For me it means endless emptiness surrounded by sadness and grief.
