URBANITES

Urbanites is my take on New York City’s iconic Houston Bowery Wall—an institution of the city’s art scene.

 

In 1982, Keith Haring launched its legacy with a large-scale mural, and since then, artists from around the world have contributed to its ever-evolving story, including JR, Banksy, Shepard Fairey, Kenny Scharf, Ron English, Aiko Nakagawa, Futura, David Flores, Tomokazu Matsuyama, and many others.

​

I titled my installation Urbanites as a dedication to the people of New York—residents from all walks of life, cultures, and ages. These unsung heroes are captured in a frozen moment, en route to unknown destinations, lost in thoughts, conversations, hopes, and dreams—whether big or small—each moving to the rhythm of the city.
