DTES SEREENA

a garlanded name hangs unceremoniously from a chainlink fence on a side street off no-man's-land east hastings...
a public declaration of love for sweet Sereena who lives or works nearby perhaps -
or a poignant commemoration for some sad Sereena who is missing or lost or worse...

once in a while I come across one of these evergreen name garlands strung out from a derelict setting - a mysteriously handmade reminder of the somber reality of such a being with that particular name -
who is she, who was she... is she still?

[BRENDA from two summers ago...]


*postscriptum:: I have since discovered the artist and the raison d'etre of this project posted on this site www.evergreen26.blogspot.com
