For Rent is comprised of 242 empty storefronts, each a monument to what was and a canvas for what could be. These vacant spaces tell a story of shifting economies, rising rents, and vanished livelihoods, yet they also hold the weight of possibility—unrealized ideas, future gatherings, and the next wave of reinvention. Absence is never just absence; it is the space where something new might take shape.
