Nancy Blum's artwork explores the interconnection between life on Earth and the systems that sustain it. Her composition features iconic New York trees-Aspen, Ash, and London Plane-each distinguished by its unique bark, standing as guardians of the forest. Beneath the surface, a vivid network of roots twists and turns like a subway map, symbolizing the shared lifelines of nature and urban transit. Above, luminous stars glow against the sky, their colors echoing subway lines and evoking themes of navigation and movement. This conceptual piece reminds us that both forests and cities thrive through cooperation, resilience, and balance.

Nancy Blum is a Brooklyn-based artist known for large-scale public art projects and botanical themes. She holds an MFA from Cranbrook Academy of Art.
