Under the streets
Hidden networks on canvas, New York, March 2019
I am fascinated by the network of pipes under Manhattan’s streets and avenues.
Recently, I was walking in Chelsea with a friend and saw on one of the streets, this amazing web of conduits, cables and pipes.
From my point of view, It looks like each existing infrastructure is an extremely difficult engineering
and coordination challenge.
I imagined the anatomy of New York through these abstract paintings inspired by the city’s subterranean complexity.
