URBANITES

 "URBANITES" on the Houston Bowery Wall (Proposal 2025) 

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.

Urbanites is a photographic collage created from crushed beverage cans collected on New York City streets.
