August, 2020 – The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City is reopen to the public after the Covid-19 Pandemic closed their doors in March of the same year.
The Iris and B. Gerald Cantor Roof Garden celebrates with a stunning exhibit by Héctor Zamora. It is a time of triumph, the arts returning to NYC. And just as the exhibit displayed division, with the bricks in the wall breaking up the sunlight on the rooftop, visitors of the museum wore masks, had timed entrances and kept themselves a measured distance from their fellow patrons of the arts.

echo through the arch as dreams unfold with carefree abundance.
