“Great. Well, one more note. Maria, I mean, thank you for sharing this. I think that it, being this chair, It takes a lot of time and energy and space. And I don't want to speak for Christina. She's an amazing person as well. But I don't know that she's able to carve out that much space in her head and her time for that.”

“No, no, no, I know it's accessible width-wise, but... I mean, I'd be hesitant to make that doorway any narrower just out of the realization that somebody's going to hit those edges with a wheelchair, with a walker. I have to push my dad around in a wheelchair. Whatever the ADA is, is what it is. But the wider, the better. I mean, so I wouldn't recommend doing a portal there for that reason.”

“Well, maybe it's nicer for the residents there to see a diversity of works, too, and two different visions. But yeah, plants are going to do whatever they want to do, and oftentimes that's dying. I mean, when you look at the columns, the suspended columns off Pam's building, which are now covered in plastic vines and were just dead. decade. It's tough with plants. I would love for her to crack that code and figure out how to make them work because that's not easy. She can do it. I don't know her.”
