Solitude was inspired by an intersection in Queens in New York City, characterized by a well-placed traffic island and Do Not Enter sign. I wondered, what if that sign was a warning to stay off that island, and what if someone could really find some alone time there? I added the park bench and the man relaxing with his newspaper enjoying the company of his dog and tuning out the busy world around him. I added a vintage gas station on the corner just for fun. Positive messages adorn the license plates of the vehicles passing by the intersection of “Urban Street” and “Tranquil Place”.
