This photo depicts a gathering of people inside an ornate, historical room with vintage decor. The room features distressed walls with decorative molding, a grand chandelier with multiple candle-style lights, and a black fireplace adorned with framed artwork. The artwork includes iconic "Obey" prints associated with Shepard Fairey, featuring bold graphic designs in red, black, and white. In the center of the room, a striking art installation is displayed — a boat covered in Fairey's signature designs, including the word "OBEY" and stylized motifs. Several people are present, some are engaged in conversation, while others are observing the artwork.

This aerial photo captures a waterfront construction site along the Low Battery seawall. The image shows an active work zone with heavy machinery, including excavators, bulldozers, and construction materials scattered throughout the area. The seawall, which runs parallel to the water, is undergoing renovations, as indicated by dirt piles, barriers, and ongoing work. Adjacent to the construction site is a historic park with large, mature oak trees and a prominent circular monument featuring a statue at its center. Surrounding the park are elegant, historic homes with classic Southern architecture, white facades, and porches.
