Tom Patti’s vertical glass mural, Manahatta, and Windtower, the kinetic metal sculpture at 15 E 30th Street, represent nature revealed by earth, water, atmosphere, and the primary forces of air and gravity.  Conceived to reflect the ecological relationship between humanity and the environment Manahatta echoes the geology of wind and extreme events that determined the location of Madison House in NoMad. The Lenape people, the original inhabitants of the Northeastern Woodlands, called their land Manahatta - meaning “hilly land”. Named in honor of the Lenape and their connection to the earth, Patti’s Manahatta utilizes the inherent transparent qualities of glass to create an historical overlay of time as a record of geological and human events.
