""Surviving in urban landscapes such as our cities is hard for everybody-animals and humans alike. To find food and shelter and a place to call home is what we all strive for.""
""Bringing thought-provoking public artwork like The Journey to our public parks both enhances our public realm and sparks conversations among New Yorkers. This inventive installation speaks to Prospect Park's critical role as a habitat for diverse wildlife.""
Risha Gorig's kinetic sculpture, featuring neon-pink birds, is installed over Lullwater in Prospect Park until August 31. The artwork symbolizes migration and reflects on human experiences of movement and displacement. Set 15 feet above the ground, the birds move with the wind, creating a surreal spectacle. The installation highlights Prospect Park's ecological significance along the Atlantic Flyway, where numerous bird species migrate. Gorig emphasizes the shared struggle for stability in urban environments, resonating with both animals and humans.
