9. South Cove, Battery Park City, New York
Tucked along New York’s waterfront, South Cove features an evocative art installation by Chinese American artist May Sun. With stone markers, poetry, and sculptural elements, the space symbolizes journeys, memory, and cultural connection. May Sun’s work infuses the park with Asian American narratives, blending natural beauty and artistic storytelling. Unlike more traditional monuments, South Cove quietly invites reflection, asking visitors to consider the layered histories that shape the city. It’s a subtle, yet profound, reminder of Asian American contributions to New York’s ever-evolving identity.
