Edition of 20.

With all the new building and accompanying disruption of residents, the time has come for an update to Dana's 2009 work, Mission Miracle Mile Trilogy.

As we revisit San Francisco's Mission Street we find the latest story told with a visual poem about a fire on Mission Street in the midst of an thick stream of traffic. The divergent range of humanity on Mission Street in San Francisco, the main artery of the Mission district is displayed to tell the story of the clash of dreams and harsh reality using photocollage that integrates photographic imagery using proximity and transparency.
