View of the Empire State Building from the 7th Floor
As you look at the seemingly still image of the Empire State Building, split second flares of tourist's camera flashes from the 86th floor observation deck become noticeable. The piece asks for a quiet consideration to perceive the fleeting yet evidentiary moments of presence and existence and speaks directly to my desire to bear witness to the evidence of human lives and what is left behind in their wake.
