Face Reality As It Is by Thomas Quinn
This illusion is a very well executed anamorphic typography piece, which is only legible from a very specific angle. From anywhere else in the room the type is skewed and difficult to read.

Starry Night installation by Photographer Lee Eunyeol
Starry night expresses private spaces given by night and various emotions that are not able to be defined and described in the space. I’ve chosen analogue type for the expression which attempts to install electric bulbs in an objet to be expressed using back space of night by taking advantage of huge studio - LE (via Colossal)

Tree of Life poster by Gary, Aaron & Khairul - designed to highlight the responsibility we have in letting animal species thrive in their natural environment.

Elizabeth Murray: Blooming, 1996
Glass mosaicRiders at this station are treated to the joyous burst of color and shapes that is Blooming. The mosaics defy the corners of the space as the imagery wraps around corners, down steps, and through doorways.
Elizabeth Murray’s Blooming takes its title from Bloomingdale’s, located above the station upstairs. The artist views the subway as a “dreamy underworld” and also a place to wake up, and her pink trees, red shoes and yellow mugs with steaming coffee succeed in gaining the viewers’ attention. Murray says, “I added the stepping shoes and steaming coffee cups, part of the ritual of every morning or evening subway trip.” The images are intended to “stimulate thoughts about passage, as does the poetry” that is incorporated into the mural, lines from William Butler Yeats’s, “In dreams begin responsibility,” and Gwendolyn Brooks’s “Conduct your blooming in the noise and whip of the whirlwind.”
The bottom two photos are of the space before the mosaic was installed. What a difference!
