Street Crossing (1992), a sculpture that George Segal (1924-2000, b. New York City, NY) made in 1992, shows a scattering of figures in the act of moving through a fictional crossroads. Caught in an ambiguous psychological terrain, the seven figures seem blind to one another and to their surroundings. once i saw this sculpture, it reminded me of Manhattan streets, you have that feeling of loneliness even in the middle of the crowed because of that flat expression in people's faces. every body is busy, exhausted and rushing to go wherever they have to and they dont see each other in the streets.
