I love when contemporary artists take a historic façade or a forgotten column and weave it into a new narrative, because it feels like a conversation across time. The old bones get a new voice, and if the artist listens closely, the original meaning stays in the back of the room while the present story unfolds in front. But when the repurposing feels like a blanket over the original, it can feel invasive—like someone is covering a masterpiece with neon. The key, I think, is balance: honoring the past while letting the present breathe without erasing the legacy.
