Fly like paper.
The only constant in cities in change—for the better or worse. That irks Philadelphia-based artist Drew Leshko. He meticulously recreates buildings he sees around him as a response to the morphing architectural composition of his neighborhood, Fishtown. The forces of gentrification have radically changed the area, so he constructed a personal archive of the past—a way to preserve Philly's historic fabric before the wrecking ball hits. "As buildings are destroyed, your memory is all that's left of them," Leshko says.
