Purpose: the reason for which something is done or created or for which something exists.

It’s a calling, a yearning of sorts that motivates us to put into action those things we dream of. Purpose helps shape our identity and gives us something to live up to. An idea of something bigger than ourselves.

For the past 38 years, Philip Ashforth Coppola, a New Jersey-based illustrator, has been exploring the Big Apple’s underground stations and sketching its mosaics in amazing detail with just a ballpoint pen. In 1984, Coppola published his first volume of subway drawings, “Silver Connections.” He continues to document the city’s underground, but doesn’t expect to finish until 2040.
