This iconic New York location is associated with fun, amusement parks, the beach and childhood memories.
I've always loved the colorful aesthetics of amusement parks. For me, Coney Island is a beautiful place when the crowds are gone. I then feel a gentle, contemplative sadness, a sense of nostalgia or loss. It could be the melancholy associated with the end of a summer's day, the disappearance of childhood memories, or the acknowledgement of the passage of time.
A place that is usually saturated with sounds, lights and smells is now only expressed visually. Ever since I was a child, I've loved strolling through an amusement park, amid the bright colors of the signs and the peaceful silence. Chromatic melancholy.
