NYC Outline by Alex Fiano
“Always go a little further in the water than you feel capable.” — David Bowie
“How can you be an artist and not reflect the times?” — Nina Simone
“Do not get lost in a sea of despair. Be hopeful, be optimistic. Our struggle is not the struggle of a day, a week, a month, or a year, it is the struggle of a lifetime. Never, ever be afraid to make some noise and get in good trouble, necessary trouble.” Rep. John Lewis, in a tweet from June 2018.
