Goddess Kali took over New York's Empire State Building as part of an artwork exhibition called Projecting Change by filmmaker Louie Psihoyos to raise awarness about the need to conserve endangered animals safe.
The Hindu goddess is known as the goddess of time, change, power and destruction. The portrait displayed on New York's iconic building was designed by artist Android Jones.
