My concept was to inject the history of Carroll Park - and it's corresponding subway stop right across the street - by creating a trompe l'oeil effect on the mosaic subway tiles. A customized psd mapped out the letters, then a decoupage layer and finally painting each and every tile by hand. After 40 hours of work, I'm thrilled with the outcome!
