Details are the glue of a community
When I travel I try to spot the details. Details are many things.
It can be what tiles you use for the sidewalks. The progressive street art, the street doors, the architecture, the street lamps, the interior design of cafes, town halls and parks. The recreational areas are incredibly important to me – especially after having a concussion for so long; it’s important that there are oases of calm and green in big cities.
The details, which are also called craftsmanship, are the basis for the patchwork, or the foundation of a community.
It’s the details that give it an edge and show what kind of society I’m moving in.
I’m fascinated by art and design, architecture, urban planning, and everything that tells you what kind of people live in the area.
