Description:
Artist Statement: "I have taken hundreds of pictures of the regulars in the Charlottesville downtown mall. This piece is a combination of about 15 of those images combined into one. Even in a crowd, few of us look at or interact with each other. We are a crowd of strangers, each in their own world. One place, many times, many lives...all in their individual world of thought."
