Brooklyn, NARS foundation

I saw that Sophia oppel, my classmate from OCAD, went to New York and had her residency at NARS foundation in Brooklyn. I checked her work. And I was shocked to find out she had been making works about surveillance. That’s totally my work. Is she okay? I went to Brooklyn as well in June. All I saw was how rich and poor they were. There were a lot of black people. On the train they seemed to dress up for the show. They immediately changed into a more relaxed mode when the train got into Manhattan. I was surprised to find out they would change face like that. So what’s so big deal about Brooklyn?
