New Artwork in the Subway...yay!

I just ran into this brand new art installation in the Bleeker Street Subway Stop, located along the Canal Street Corridor by the orange line. The wall is tile, and is completely flat, and the artwork is a pasted flat onto the tile wall. The 3D effect is an illusion. There are maybe 7 or 8 different ones. This picture was taken with an iPhone. Cool, right?

Eddie... sounds interesting! this reminded me of a long-forgotten Zen Buddhist retreat I went to back when i was 11 yrl. was in Taiwan. I was gone for 5 days. did pretty much the same thing you described, but with a stronger emphasis on learning about Buddhism. was surrounded by other kids around the same age. did the dish washing thing, weren't allowed to talk... etc. didn't really like it back then, but I did feel greatful later on in my life knowing that I experienced something most people don't get to. That retreat kinda also got me into the Buddhism thing.

Happy belated New Year --- may this new year be filled with joy, prosperity, and of all --- love.
