DescriptionFramed. Image of a low bridge and New York skyline in Central Park. A couple in a small red boat (foreground) can be seen underneath the blue bridge.
The image is symmetrical; a tall building (center) in orange perfectly parts the tree line and skyline; the bridge also mimics this symmetry through the river rocks, clearing, and yellow trees evenly placed on either half of the image.
The background tree line is particularly satisfying on the eyes, through the unique blend of neon green, blue, and yellow as each color is darkened in either the skyline, sky, or grass around the center.

Support the understanding and appreciation of the Japanese American experience.
