Car Wash Stop

as a child, being in a car wash always seemed like I was stealing a secret perspective- I was an insider witnessing something I wasn’t supposed to see- cheating the system by being safe and dry amidst the soapy chaos. As anthropologists, we aim to see from both the inside and the outside- to build a holistic picture based on this dual, or multi-faceted, perspective.
