New York City will forever bear the marks of that time and place in United States history when the world forever changed. With the alteration of it’s landscape – physically and culturally – familiar sights and landmarks remind us that we must continue to move forward. The future being the fast-paced and complicated equation in the day-to-day, there is ever-present symbols in daily life that fill us with HOPE.
Ruben Natal-San Miguel journeys all-around the streets of New York City – trekking his neighborhood of Harlem or passing the hustle of downtown sidewalks – finding the words and signs of healing and inspiration to move forward as a survivor of the attacks on September 11, 2001. As we fast approach the 10-year anniversary, Natal-San Miguel has captured the message of “HOPE” tattooed on one of many passengers riding the ferry, steering a course near the location of the fatal attacks and in the distance is the Statue of Liberty, the iconic symbol of freedom and independence. This imagery taken by Natal-San Miguel is a quintessential moment for anyone who has faced a trauma. This is a reminder that atonement is all around us and can be delivered even when we are not searching.

Be nice, be proactive, be positive and yes you can be a bit naughty. Negativity, tackiness and insecurity will get you nowhere in the ART World!
