Ditched
We are intimate with our couches, we associate them with rest and healing. These are their last moments, unclouded by coffee tables or living room sets the couches stand alone and show their unique style and personality. Each one has its own story, with only hours left to tell the tale before the city trucks come and turn them into matchsticks, tick tock.
Years ago I saw a couch in dolores park and took a photo with my phone. As I thought about the couch in the middle of the park and the people that carried it there I started reflecting on what stories that couch could tell. Soon after I began to notice the other, previously invisible, couches strewn about the city. As a backdrop San Francisco fills in the blanks of each story and offers its own flavor.
