El Views

2002 Chauncey Street (J, Z) New York City Transit

Maria Dominguez created the paintings for “El Views," which were then translated into 16 panels of brilliantly colored faceted glass. In order to capture the area's spirit and energy, Dominguez spoke with dozens of people and took numerous photos of their neighborhood. The final result transforms daily activities into striking images: people arriving home from school or work, tree buds in springtime, and lights from the businesses surrounding the elevated structures. “El Views” is embedded with the sensibility and humanity of the people and place that were its inspiration.
