This sweet new art installation was unveiled in Times Square by Situ Studio. The heart-shaped enclosure was constructed from boardwalk boards that were salvaged in the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy from across New York and New Jersey.  The boards rise from the ground and are illuminated from within.  Visitors are encouraged to enter the installation to stand in the heart of the city.
"Heartwalk draws inspiration from the collective experience of Hurricane Sandy. This project was built entirely from wooden planks salvaged from the boardwalks of The Rockaways in Queens; Long Beach, NY; Sea Girt, NJ; and Atlantic City, NJ. This website will aggregate photos taken by the many visitors that visit Heartwalk in Duffy Square between February 12th and March 8th."
