(CNN) A hospital in Brooklyn received a special delivery this week during the coronavirus pandemic: A truckload of 1,800 paintings, one for every employee, each representing a flower. The paintings arrived in Brooklyn on Monday in 40 boxes, and were distributed on Thursday, Brown told CNN. The acrylic paintings were created using syringes, drawing a connection between the artist and the hospital workers. The analogy between the hospital workers and a garden sustaining life really spoke to the staff of the hospital, Brown told CNN. "The least you can do is wear a mask, social distancing, washing your hands," Brown told CNN.
