New York City was one of the global cities hit hardest by the Coronavirus (COVID-19). A city of light. The city that never sleeps. A bustling city full of life and energy.
For months, NYC was under lockdown, the life went out of the city, and symbolically, the light. While physically, in Time Square and other iconic areas of the city, the lights were still on, these lights were on for no one as New Yorkers remained quarantined in their homes.
