In this museum, I see the universal struggles I and many other New Yorkers face in our everyday lives. There are artworks in the museum that address severe underlying issues in not only this city, but this nation as a whole. A prime example of this is Sebastian Errazuriz’s “We are the 99%,” a provocative display of the economic inequality present between those of different socioeconomic statuses. When looking at such depictions, it’s important to think about what exactly is the artist trying to convey to me? In this case, Errazuriz is sharing what he believes to be a crucial issue in our current society that affects all of us regardless of the differences between us.
