Since the start of this project Joseph realized the importance of a permanent instillation of this size. He sees it as a way of giving back to the community, and paying homage to his roots. He dedicates this art to parents, Catherine and John Cavalieri. “From the overpass you can see the Tappan Zee Bridge. My grandfather Stanislau Mosiello lived in Tarrytown and watched the bridge being built from the family’s kitchen window. My Uncle Toby would drive him down to the shore to watch the progress. Grandpa Mosiello was an avid walker and was eager for the day he would be able to walk the expanse of the bridge. The day before the bridge opened to the public in 1955, my grandfather passed away. Now grandparents, my father and many aunts and uncles are buried in Sleepy Hollow Cemetery. This is my personal homage to these relatives, and a tribute to the current people living in this community as they travel north, south and home.”
