The original image comes from Boston Magazine and is followed by an article on how sad and uninviting the iconic Boston Commons has become. One of the oldest spots in Boston, The Commons should be a place full of life and history, but it has become a muddy, unkempt, feces-covered, and dirty place that tourists are feeling more and more disappointed in with every trip. The remix of this image encourages color and life growing back into the common. Some of the remix is left as the original image to represent this regrowing process taking time and care and the buildings were left in the grey are a symbol of what the city and industry has done to the natural environment around it. Immense flowers, blue skies, and greenery is being built up in the image from the bottom to represent the need to revamp the commons and to take better care and consideration in the historical land that surrounds us.
