Weekly Photo Challenge : A Face in the Crowd

“And this that you call solitude is in fact a big crowd.” 
― Dejan Stojanovic, The Shape

ABOUT THE PHOTO

Clicked by Nexus 6P phone (and edited by Snapseed App), on my trip to Chicago, at the renowned “Cloud Gate” – this picture is a perfect illustration of “A Face in the Crowd!”
Also called “The Bean” – it is a public sculpture by Indian-born British artist Sir Anish Kapoor and is the centerpiece of AT&T Plaza at Millennium Park in the Loop community area of Chicago. Made up of 168 stainless steel plates welded together and inspired by liquid mercury – it’s highly polished exterior has no visible seams making it an architectural marvel and much celebrated tourist attraction. People from all walks of life, from different counties, close and afar – visit this spectacular piece of art, admiring the best of Chicago. Interestingly described as a passage between realms, the three-quarters of the sculpture’s external surface reflects the sky and the name “Cloud Gate” aptly refers to it acting as a type of gate that helps bridge the space between the sky and the beholder.
Gathering crowds, clustered commoners, flocking communities – There is “A Face in the Crowd” that you may remember!
