A visual meditation on Central Park. The project explores the results of intentions set forth by the park's chief architect, who wanted the space to be democratic, allowing all New Yorkers to escape the distractions of urban life. Recreating the peacefulness of nature was meant to soothe and restore the human spirit, a vision never more relevant than during a global crisis that took millions of lives while stay-at-home regulations swept the globe. Whether using the expansive landscape as a place to relax, escape or love, the project translates these actions photographically, illustrating the importance of public parks and how, in that moment, New Yorkers found what they needed within them.
