Have you caught a glimpse of “City Spirit”? @FeifeiRuan’s new art card transports viewers into a richly-detailed, mythical underground universe filled w/elements found in the subway system, spiritual creatures, shining sun, blossoming trees, familiar buildings, buses and ferries.
Wishing you safe and happy holidays!

The critical role of transportation has been widely recognized this week - @NewYorker cover painting by #OwenSmith depicts the gravity of a medic's commute.
