The mural featuring various figures wearing face masks, titled "Exploring My Own Backyard, NYC," was painted by Melissa Biggs Bradley. 

This artwork is part of a series where Melissa Biggs Bradley, the founder of Indagare Travel, explored and documented her experiences in New York City during a break from her travels. The mural reflects a contemporary theme, likely related to the COVID-19 pandemic, given the depiction of masks.
