Parts Remaining, A Meditation on the Illusion of Time

in the winter of 2018, the ground outside my local mechanic’s shop caught my eye. It is a lot that three automotive shops share on a corner in the Rogers Park neighborhood of Chicago. Rogers Park has the second largest ethnic population in the U.S., and is a destination for refugees from all over the world. 

Every Sunday morning I would visit the deserted lot and comb the eroding floor for treasures; bits and pieces of once shiny car parts from coveted vehicles, now broken, metamorphosed and decaying like memory fragments dissolving in dreams. I would gather them up and take them home, wash them and leave them. When I felt the impulse, I played with them until they arranged themselves into something that  spoke to me in a meaningful way. Just the way I meditate on the parts of a dream until they come together into something significant regarding past, present and future and the psyche.
