Hogan’s Alley

A Legacy Interrupted, A Future Reimagined

A black and white image of a narrow dirt alley lined with wooden buildings and power poles. On the left side, there are simple structures, some with signs, and on the right side, two old vehicles are parked near a fence. The background features more houses with sloped roofs, and power lines run along the alley, creating a sense of depth. The scene appears to be from an earlier era, evoking a nostalgic atmosphere.

Two people are seated at a round wooden table in a modern art space with a large window that allows natural light to fill the room. One person, a woman with glasses, is interacting with the other, a young man wearing a hooded jacket. In the background, a textured brick wall contrasts with a large, oval, carved wooden artwork displayed on a white wall. There are two small, metallic stools nearby.
