If you can inflate it here, you can inflate it anywhere. Times Square’s largest-ever art installation was unveiled earlier this week as a beacon for New Yorkers and tourists alike, who are invited to “conjure” up their cathartic thoughts and feelings — and even hopes for the future.

A nonprofit organization is fishing for donations to cover the costs to replace plants destroyed in the Union Square riot sparked by Twitch streamer Kai Cenat — but hasn’t asked the 21-year-old millionaire who cops say incited the chaos to pony up the dough.
