In New York, an artist named Matthew Chavez is positively impacting the lives of many people through a unique project he called “subway therapy.” Located at a station that connects two of Manhattan’s busiest avenues, the initiative consists of a simple tent filled with post-its, where passers-by are encouraged to share their thoughts by sticking them on the subway tiles.
The project turned into a true mural of emotions, with thousands of colorful papers filled with outbursts, dreams, anxieties, inspiring ideas and even humor.
This space serves as a form of anonymous and cathartic expression, allowing people to release their feelings in a city known for its intensity and fast pace. Since its inception, “subway therapy” has attracted countless participants, becoming a symbol of human connection in the midst of urban chaos.
