I tried out a new gym in the financial district yesterday. Afterwards I wondered around the neighborhood and found a little patch of cemetery that was so amazingly Gothic and unexpected. As I rounded the iron fencing taking photos, I noticed a sign commemorating 9/11. at first it seem a little random then I turned around and realized that I was standing across the street from ground zero.
As I entered a subway station I passed tow police man with dog discussing the temperament of their “partners”. As I descended the stairs I heard one of the men say…”yeah if he even hears children I gotta tighten the lead….” !
In the subway this station had dozens of these tile mosaic eyes randomly placed on the walls. Various eyes of all shapes and colors staring at you from every nook and cranny of the station.
It had a very all seeing effect which seems fitting for this particular stop and its location. Perhaps it was intended to give this watchful feeling, a display of NY diverse population and it heighten awareness of itself and happenings.
