This project enriches the daily lives of New Yorkers and helps them to emotionally connect with their environment, to see the often-overlooked visual treasures of their own neighborhoods. Its citywide photo displays offer an artistic view of New York City streets and subways, from scrawls on walls to ripped safety cones, crushed candy, and mailbox rust. A CLOSER NY© extracts the “Gems” from the “Junk” and reinforces the inherent wonders of New Yorkers’ soil-less gardens.
