Description

Hard, an installation of oolite rock, street chalk, poetic text drawn within an architectural house plan for a middle-class family.

The oolite represents land being seized for investment while providing a place for a viewer to perch, uncomfortably, and evaluate the interlopers claim to “improve” the area. The architectural drawing and text is rendered in street chalk:

Hard
as rock
hard
work settling
hard
life, undervalued
hard
line, erased
hard
won individuality
hard
times, always changing
hard
to connect
so much lost in gentrifying

HARD, is installed at 5301 NW 5th Avenue, Miami, in a neighborhood with an identity that is changing due to current day wealthy landowners and/or prominent developers.
