pieces of a jigsaw puzzle

In 1994 a pavement at Lower Eastside, Manhattan is an odd place to find pieces of a jigsaw puzzle. Back then, it would have been more likely to stumble upon a drug deal in this neighbourhood. Yet they were there. The intriguing thing about rambling puzzle pieces is that they can become part of something completely different than the puzzle they were made for. These specific pieces show fragments of trees and of buildings. They have been independent pieces for 30 years now. Puzzling in itself is also linked to architecture: only by puzzling do you arrive at the best spatial proportions.
