The illuminated crowd in the cold_IMG 20230405 181726

Last week we had an ice storm that covered everything in ice. This is a detail from the “La Foule illumine” (Illuminated crowd), outside an office tower in downtown Montréal. It consists of 65 figures looking variously worried, dejected or utterly miserable (it’s art, what do you expect). The ice coating probably did little to improve their mood.

Who knows what our man is pointing at. Is it "Over there, go forth you huddled masses and conquer," or "Holy crap Batman. What is that coming our way?"
