Get around New York

About the theme of "the NYC transportation"

Transportation has played a pivotal role in shaping the development of New York City's neighborhoods and influencing the lives of its inhabitants.

From the construction of subway lines to the expansion of highways, the city's transportation infrastructure has facilitated the movement of people and goods, connecting disparate communities and shaping patterns of migration
and settlement.

Through my artistic exploration, I aim to capture the profound impact visually
of transportation on the city's landscape and the behavior of its residents.  

The subway system, in particular, serves as a microcosm of the city's diverse population, bringing together individuals from all walks of life in a shared space.

As commuters navigate the underground tunnels and platforms, they are exposed to a myriad of sights, sounds, and interactions, reflecting the rich tapestry
of cultures and experiences that define New York City.

By visually representing the underground psychology of the subway system,
I seek to illuminate the interconnectedness of neighborhoods and how transportation shapes social dynamics and collective consciousness.  

In creating abstract topographies inspired by transportation, I draw upon geometric compositions and dense layering to convey the complex networks
and connections that define the urban landscape.

By intertwining shapes and patterns, I aim to visualize the traces and impacts
of transportation on the city's physical and social fabric, exploring how movement and mobility intersect with community identity and individual behavior.

Through my artwork, I hope to offer viewers a new perspective on the city's transportation infrastructure and its profound influence on urban life.
