Chinese artist Ai Weiwei, renowned for his provocative work addressing human rights, government oppression, and social justice, created the public installation Camouflage at FDR Four Freedoms State Park on Roosevelt Island, New York City. The piece features netting patterned with cat silhouettes, a symbol of vulnerability and innocence, draped over parts of the park to explore themes of concealment, truth, and conflict. Visitors are invited to write reflections about freedom and tie them to the netting, making the installation a participatory and collective act that engages the public in conversations about fear, protection, and human rights.
