5 Pointz, Long Island City from Habitat 7

A sweeping panoramic photograph captures the legendary 5 Pointz graffiti complex in Long Island City, New York, its walls bursting with vibrant, large-scale murals created by artists from around the world. Liao's signature composite imaging technique layers multiple exposures to reveal the building's intricate street art alongside the surrounding urban landscape in extraordinary detail. The work serves as a powerful document of the iconic outdoor museum before its controversial demolition in 2013, preserving the energy and cultural significance of one of the world's most celebrated graffiti meccas.
