That's the name of this 200-foot-long art wall surrounding the DOT's Sunrise Yard Maintenance Facility. The artist, Samm Kunce, also created Under Bryant Park, which you've probably noticed if you've ever transferred to or from the 7 train at 42nd Street.
This neo-Gothic stone church has been closed for almost two years now.
