Reflections at the ICA

Earlier this week, my good friend Lynn Holbein posted a lovely watercolor of the Boston skyline from the windows of the Institute of Contemporary Art in Boston. (You can check out her work at lynnholbein.com.) Here is a different view from those windows. The ICA is currently showing an exhibition on migration, immigration, and displacement through contemporary art. I tried to frame this image to fit that theme. The reflections in the glass make it look like there are a few people on the inside looking out, and a lot of people on the outside looking in. But the division is an illusion. The people who seem to be outsiders are just a reflection of those on the inside.
