At Northern Blvd    station, Oscar Oiwa’s "Woodside Window," comprises three mosaic murals that blend hyperrealism with dreamlike fantasy, inviting viewers to see their neighborhood anew, as if through a dream or a child’s imagination. On the Queens-bound side: mysterious orbs floating above the station entrance and a LIRR train traveling along the elevated viaduct. At the Manhattan-bound entrance: a reimagined depiction of the neighborhood featuring a block of houses, one of which has a subway entrance on its roof and the infrastructure of the nearby 7 train depicted as a web of black steel trusses crisscrossing a vibrant, yellow-orange cityscape.

Fabricated by Mosaicos Venecianos de México, the murals total 360 square feet of glass mosaic.
