Anne Finkelstein's mural Line of Sight embraces two large walls of the building linked together by a lower middle wall. This unusual format sets the stage for a mural depicting architectural elements and scenes from the South Bronx in a simplified yet recognizable way. Finkelstein matches the geometry of the urban city structure to the geometry of the building, linking the concepts of a smaller unit to the concept of a larger, much wider setting. Finkelstein conveys the geometry of urban life in the city to the structure of the existing building in a painterly and metaphorical way. The city is depicted as a landscape with empty streets and vacant buildings and rooms. It is in sharp contrast to the vibrant activity of the neighborhood.
