Description / Interpretation: 

An elderly woman pulling a cart of groceries is the central image in this commentary on Venice's continuing transformation as a community. Ahead of her, three young women in the modest swimming attire of an earlier era-perhaps figments of her memory-pose and wave in her direction. Behind her a roller skater approaches, not appearing to notice that they are about to collide. On the ground is a newspaper fragment announcing the eviction of local seniors from their homes.
