Using windows as a motif, artist Eugenie Tung investigates the daily lives of New Yorkers engaged in their daily routines before (on the Manhattan-bound platform) and after (on the Brooklyn-bound platform) their daily commutes: watering plants, watching TV, eating breakfast, cooking dinner. The artist believes that beauty can be found within these often-overlooked ordinary activities; although there may be differences in how they are carried out, the rituals of daily life cross invisible boundaries and unite us all through the concept of home.

Eugenie Tung (Eugenie Packer) was born in Hong Kong, immigrated to United States at the age of 17, and received a BFA from Western Washington University and an MFA from Brooklyn College, where she was awarded a teaching position for a Basic Design Course. In her art, she uses these inanimate objects that she has accumulated and traveled with as proxies for how her life is perpetually in transit. Since 2000, her artworks have been shown around the world. In 2011, Eugenie was commissioned by the New York City Department of Transportation’s Urban Art Program to complete a temporary public art project located in Brooklyn, NY.
