Installation views
Eamon’s love for NYC is evident. He achieves nostalgic vibes with his keen observations, muted tones and straightforward approach. Our beloved city has been through a lot these days. I feel emotional when I look at them. The crystal clear drops tug at my heart strings. The view of overlapping water towers reminds me that New York is jam packed as it is beautiful. I feast my eyes on a subway memory, a good-looking commuter reading literature on a crowded train without a mask. Wow, the before times are really gone. I’m grateful for Eamon’s time capsule, it makes me love New York even more.
