For Sale in Los Sures (2013) explores the Southside of Williamsburg, Brooklyn through a carefully curated selection of items which can be bought in the neighborhood. Los Sures is a rapidly gentrifying area, and this project is an evolving work-in-progress map which borrows the language and aesthetics of commercials to open windows onto the community and its changing identity by inviting people to interact with individuals and businesses there.
