Was walking down the street one day and noticed that a bush had been trimmed into the shape of a car.
Further inspection showed that car parts had been integrated into the bush.
The artist came home while i was pondering the bush.
He was from hong kong and didn’t speak a word of english.
He was string thin and dressed in a suit and tie that was ancient and rumpled.
As was he.
I’d guess his age as around eighty, maybe even more.
He gave me a wave with his nicotine stained hand, and went inside.
That was a while ago.
I just finally got around to going back with my phone to take these photos,
and found it kind of forlorn looking.
For instance, there are some headlights that are not visible here due to overgrowth.
I hope he’s ok.
