Mind is Where Expression is Experienced

"Where the hand goes, there the eyes should follow

Where the eyes are, the mind should follow

Where the mind is, there the expression should be brought out

Where the expression is, there the rasa or flavor will be experienced."

From the Desk of Kiana German

I have a commitment to making Detroit relevant to our greater society through acts of design and advocacy. Despite the protraction of bad economic times - times that are indeed devastating - I am uplifted by the spirit of service that is being demonstrated by individuals and organizations in our community each and everyday. Couple that with a Dogged pursuit of excellence in all that we do and you can begin to understand the pride that we all take in representing and being part of our great city.

This photo of the Blue Water Bridge in Port Huron, MI is symbolic of the journey of life. Life is not about the size of the mountains we face nor the challenges of the terrain. Life is about the journey. There will always be another mountain, we're always going to want to make it move. There's always going to be an up hill battle, sometimes we're going to lose. It doesn't matter how fast we get there, doesn't matter what's on the side. What matters most is the climb. Therefore, let's prepare ourselves for a marvelous ride.

Peace & Love,

Kiana

Yves Marchand, Romain Meffre: Ruins of Detroit

Up and down Detroit’s streets, buildings stand abandoned and in ruin. French photographers Yves Marchand and Romain Meffre set out to document the decline of an American city. Their book “The Ruins of Detroit“, a document of decaying buildings frozen in time, was published in December 2010.

From the photographers’ website: Ruins are the visible symbols and landmarks of our societies and their changes, small pieces of history in suspension. The state of ruin is essentially a temporary situation that happens at some point, the volatile result of change of era and the fall of empires. This fragility, the time elapsed but even so running fast, lead us to watch them one very last time : being dismayed, or admire, making us wondering about the permanence of things. Photography appeared to us as a modest way to keep a little bit of this ephemeral state.
