Jason Naylor, Pier 17, 89 South Street, Manhattan, NY

Artist statement: It’s ok if you’re not ok. It’s ok to feel whatever you are feeling. But if you’re not feeling like your best self, I’d like to remind you that you are not alone. One of the best ways I know how to communicate is through my art. Art has a way of moving people, grabbing their emotions and pulling them away from their worries. Art brings us together, and when it’s a large scale mural in a public place, it has the power to reach many. So this mural is my way of standing on a mountaintop and shouting to everyone who can hear me, that you—whoever you are— are not alone.
