At 38 feet tall, Nick Lees's colorful mural, This Yokai is a Ningyo, is hard to miss when you pass the Shoreway Building on West 76th Street in Battery Park. Through vibrant colors and symbolic Japanese objects, the 27-year-old Japanese American artist creates a playful commentary on his biracial identity.
“I’ve always wanted to create work [that is] authentic to who I am as a person."
