Appears to be a broken mirror with faces in each of the facets
Facets in the artwork reflect images of family a multitude of times, creating a rippling texture in this black and white photo. The sculpture’s reflective properties in turn become part of the photographer’s artistic process. The resulting photograph is a study in black, white, and gray.

Artist Statement

As a Smithsonian graphic designer and mom, this photo sums up everything I love. Family, line, contrast, art, museums, and fun.

We are avid museum goers. I snapped this family portrait in the reflection of an Anish Kapoor sculpture at the High Museum of Art in Atlanta. Besides the obvious fun-house quality to play with as you stand there, the piece also engages you with an acoustic effect.
