New York's fantastic evening skyline viewed from across an unidentified body of purple water. Yellow lights in the skyscrapers gleam from the midnight blue and purple sky. Just don't take out a street map to try and figure out your orientation. The artist has imposed his own order on this famous vista, which makes no geographic sense despite some recognizable sights; lettering in orange, reminiscent of neon lights of Broadway.
