20/20
Newburgh, NY
Newburgh, NY
Moving through a house like hiking up a mountain. Through the musty undergrowth to the sun shining bright symbols above, designated danger marked on a butterfly’s wing.
In Newburgh, a city which has faced economic austerity and abandonment, many of the historic facades now bear a red X - a graphic indication of structural danger and visual reminder of poverty.
20/20 renders Newburgh's ubiquitous red X into natural phenomena.
