The Stone Remembers

A Spatial Engagement of History Documentation at Bryant Park through Stones

in collaboration with Janvi and Sherefah
New York, 2025
This project investigates the layered history of Bryant Park through the lens of material memory and generational change. Once a potter’s field, military encampment, reservoir, and now a public space, the park has been continuously reshaped, often erasing traces of its past. We identified stone as a silent witness to these transitions, a material that has endured across time. By extracting stones, inscribing them with forgotten histories, and returning them to the site, we create an open-air archive, inviting the public to engage with the hidden narratives embedded in the park’s ground.
