New York is naturally a very beautiful place.
I have to say, this is much more than a station isn't it?
New Yorkers will take this and they will use it,
and I hope they use it with all their forces,
and with an enormous intensity,
because it has been done for them.
Finding the way in a station is essential,
I wanted to create places that,
delivers the people the sense of comfort
and also delivers the sense of security.
For the first time I use a white painting, isn't it?
It has all the symbolic importance,
even the walls, everything is white.
This person who's coming to New York,
to work very hard, during one day,
maybe living in a very modest house,
and working also in a very modest job.
For this person, is for me is very important,
you are a very important guy for our community,
because finally it's a public work.
This thing is here for you.
