STATUE OF LIBERTY
Thousands of stickies have been posted by people around the world since Matthew Chavez created the project, dubbed "Subway Therapy," on Nov. 9. Chavez brought sticky notes and pens to the station last week and encouraged New Yorkers to write what they felt about the election result and post it on the wall.

Chavez said the days following the election have been really stressful for people: "I wanted to give people an opportunity to feel less stressed or get something off their chest."
