Letters to a building marked for demolition, to go down with the ship.

---

While traveling overland across Japan, Siberia, Mongolia, and China, I wrote daily letters addressed to a building marked for demolition in Baltimore, where I used to live. They were written on trash scraps and notecards found along the way, then mailed across the sea. Once they accumulated in the building´s mailbox, they went down with the building, down with the ship.
