This is some street art that I caught on a recent work/scouting trip in New York. This is a piece by Pasqualina Azzarello on East 12th Street in front of an old church that is being torn down to make room for a 26-story NYU dorm. I was lucky enough to catch the website in one of my photos and highly recommend checking it out. The artwork is beautiful. Seeing this work was one of the most exciting things during my whole trip. There are loads of images on the website.
Also included on the contact page is a quote from John Steinbeck, East of Eden. Somehow the quote seems particularly meaningful right now.
"And this I believe: that the free, individual mind of the exploring human is the most valuable thing in the world. And this I would fight for: the freedom of the mind to take any direction it wishes, undirected. And this I must fight against: any idea, religion, or government which limits or destroys the individual."
