On Thursday, I went to C&D where I would find out my project for my internship. M and I met with B who will be helping me in the project as my contact at C&D. I am going to do an art project for my project. The purpose of the project is to get people to know that C&D is here and is a part of the community. My project is tentatively called "Holes" and it will feature a 3D model of the area that I am in. In this model, I will cut out some major buildings so that people know that something is missing. I will have the buildings with me and the project will become a puzzle of sorts. They will have the opportunity to put back these major buildings from their community, but there will be one other building that is not very much known but it will be. I will cut out C&D and then they will know the location so that they can come to this place and enjoy their community even more. I will not start the actual project until the middle of June, but I am in the pre-stages in my work: mapping out the area, finding the major buildings/fields, etc. This is the main thing that I did yesterday during the day.
After my day finished, L had invited me to go to the RLD with her. So, at nine at night, L and I, along with a team, went to the RLD of Zurich city. We went to a restaurant where we all met up to discuss the night and then that restaurant donated food for us to deliver to people. We walked all over the place last night until just past midnight. It was interesting to meet other people and see them as people and not as their work. The difference between the people I interact with here and the people back home are pretty different. People at home might say, "Well, yes they are all people" and then go on to judge them because of their job. The people here go out and try to see only the people. They do call them what they are, but they show them the love that they deserve. We went out and talked to them and if they didn't want to talk, then that was fine; we gave them food and a drink if they wanted and went on our way. It was an interesting experience and I cannot wait to go again.
So proud of you kid!
