From windows facing west and from the roof of her loft, Mensch has views of the Brooklyn Bridge's span and the Municipal Building and the bridge has been a constant in her life and her art.

The Brooklyn bridge is definitely one of the most photographed bridges in the world since its construction over a 14 year period beginning in 1870. It was the first steel-wire suspension bridge ever built.
