Wednesday, February 5, 2025 – 5:44 PM – outside of the Axinn Library
Objective Description: The Axinn Library lit up on all sides, from the ground up, as the sun sets.
Subjective Description: I stood outside of Axinn Library, talking on the phone, when I noticed the library, how it was lit, and the “backdrop.” The sky is a lighter blue, fading into a darker blue; the library is lit from the ground up, causing it to appear as if it is looming over me. It felt as if the building itself was watching me, waiting for me, calling me, in a way. It feels taller in the dark. The longer I look at it, the taller it looks. Looking at it for too long creates a pit in my stomach. It looks like a building that people go into and might never come out of.
