But looking at this one, in a quiet park not far from home, I imagine three different bricklayers working on the same building at three entirely different moments in history.
They never meet, but their work builds on the creations of those who have come before, their hands tracing the lines of what they built, adding to it as they go.
The seemingly disjointed, time-worn wall that we see here feels like a legacy of sorts, a product of countless strangers, now lost to time, their craft on eternal display to anyone who pauses in its shadow.
Maybe not all of us leave behind buildings of brick and mortar. Maybe our own traces take different forms - all meaningful to the future in their own unique way.
