Centralia

We must respect the ruin and its presences for what they were. As we enter someone's familiar space, we must not bring an unfamiliarity to our exploration and expectations. Once inside that landscape, we are crossing perhaps multiple temporal and social boundaries. Space and time, as two fragmented walls, can inhibit our interactions with someone else's experiences and memories of that place. This is Centralia, as it was, and as its remains are visualized today.
