&ldquo;The neons speak to a societal compulsion&mdash;to always be projecting the purified version of your life online,&rdquo; said Hovnanian. &ldquo;My work advocates for a stronger connection to our truer selves and stories in the midst of countless forces that pressure us to present only idealized, curated versions of ourselves.&rdquo;
The tree installations are exhibited at Edition Hotels&rsquo; Times Square and Flatiron locations. Proceeds from this project will be given to <a href="https://www.projecthealthyminds.com/">Project Healthy Minds</a>.&nbsp;
