Bmorehomeless
This project is a call to action; an intervention into a broken home. This home would have you believe it to be one of the best; “The Greatest in America”. Venture farther and you will find its children abused and forgotten.
It is easy to read a homeless sign and not believe it. It is easy to rationalize that giving money will not actually help, but rather enable. These aren’t your kin and this isn’t your house. It is best to avoid any confrontation and keep moving because it is just a stranger holding a ratty cardboard sign. You can read it, ignore it, and very easily forget it.
There are 80 monuments around this city recognizing great achievements and commemorating painful losses. These too have been left to rot away in the elements. Yet they stand proud upon their pedestals, with unwavering pride, able to retain their monumentality.
Bmorehomeless is about 80 monuments carrying 80 desperate pleas for help. It is an attempt to remind the community and its leaders that, just as the monuments need attention and help to shine once again, so do the most impoverished members of this once Great City.
