When I think of my grandmothers one bedroom apartment in Kew Gardens, Queens: smell, texture, sound, taste, remain static. When my grandfather passed, the space remained static, when my grandmother passed this past year, it remained static. The apartment demands my psyche to perpetually project a fossilized memory onto an inanimate stratosphere. Or perhaps it is my own demand, fearful to one day not remember the feeling of static familiarity. The apartment resists its torn up carpeted floors, painted walls, and absent furnishings and rather serves as a vessel, romanticizing my intimacy with the abject, and my attunement to the anthropomorphized lives of my inanimate surroundings.
