This first installment of a collaboration between DKNY and NEW INC, featuring a series of window installations centered around the iconic New York subway bench. Using 24 monitors, the installation appropriates the subway tile graphics to create a digital mosaic in perpetual becoming — fractal, fluid, otherworldly. New patterns emerge and dissolve, construct and deconstruct in constant flow, creating a dynamic background for the DKNY Concept Store.

The New York City Subway is home to an extraordinary collection of tile mosaics. This ceramic tradition began in the early 1900s, with stations across the five boroughs bearing unique works that celebrate the diversity of their neighborhoods.

From the intricate Beaux-Arts designs of Heins & LaFarge, to the geometric "machine-age" signage of Squire J. Vickers, to the latest commissions by the Arts & Transit Program, these iconic works tell the story of the city across time and space.

This work takes that iconography as its source material — a celebration of the fast-paced rhythm of New York life. Appropriating the subway tile graphics, it creates a contemporary digital mosaic of fractal forms: constantly shifting compositions that evoke time travel or a portal into another dimension.

I also engage with the city's more functional tiles — those bearing simple numbers and letters — exploring how their graphic simplicity can become abstract and organic.

Patterns rise and fall, build and break, in unceasing flow — a living backdrop for the DKNY Concept Store vitrine.
