– Twin Crystals –
This is a reconstruction proposal for a world famous ticket booth in Times Square, New York. The new tkts Booth will be twin crystals sparkling on the corner of Times Square. They could almost be stardust dropped from another planet… Yes indeed, they landed on the narrow sandbank between the two rivers, falling through the Grand Canyon of skyscrapers. The brilliant light emitted from the unidentified transparent ores might be the sign of undisclosed energies from the universe condensed therein.
