Shockoe Bottom as a Living Creature


My exploration of Shockoe bottom centers around the comparison of the area to a human cell. A cell has certain specialized parts that handle waste, move vital parts, contain information and produce chemicals. I want to know: what moves? what is waste? what is growing? what is warm? et cetera. Really, this project is more of an indirect comparison, where I am attempting to compare a chunk of a city to a living organism. Huzzah!
