How Will We Feel (2008), made of wood board and posted anonymously in various public locations in Harlem, is a reminder of the current gentrification of Harlem as well as a record of a current moment in history. The colors used in the piece - black, white and red - are three of the most common colors used by corporations and institutions such as Coca-Cola. The colors suggest the increasing corporatization of an historically black neighborhood.
