The completion of the work to rehabilitate seven stations along the D Line in Brooklyn was marked on August 2, 2012, with a ribbon-cutting ceremony attended by MTA leaders and local elected officials. We installed great new artwork at each of the seven stations. Here are details for the artwork shown in this image and its location. 25th Avenue Station - Artist: Amy Cheng Title: Rediscovery Date: 2012 Medium: Laminated glass Location: Platform windscreens Fabricator: Depp Glass, Inc. Amy Cheng’s artwork entitled Rediscovery selected for the 25th Avenue Station is a tribute to the human longing for discovery, adventure and spiritual quests which form part of the immigrant experience. Most of this area is currently comprised of Chinese immigrants. For instance, there is a large Chinese supermarket next to the station as well as other Chinese restaurants and businesses. In addition, there are many other immigrants from Turkey and Latin America. Amy Cheng, a child of immigrants from Taiwan, aimed to depict mystery and adventure by illustrating an imaginative land and skyscapes. For immigrants living in a new country forms part of their “Rediscovery” and the imagery found in her proposal reflects these qualities of being dreamers, self starters and full of beautiful complexity. Her rich and colorful compositions reflect the cultural richness of this Asian American neighborhood.
