Uma foto da Avenida António Áugusto de Aguiar 10, Lisboa, Portugal, no final da tarde. À medida que a luz amarela, as nuvens e o céu azul atrás de mim refletem no prédio, com luzes internas olhando para brilhar. Há uma pessoa lá dentro, se você olhar de perto o suficiente.

Uma foto de oito muros voltados para o sudeste da Avenida António Áugusto de Aguiar 10, Lisboa, Portugal, no final da tarde. À medida que a luz amarela, as nuvens e o céu azul atrás de mim refletem no prédio, com luzes internas olhando para brilhar. Uma pessoa se esconde por dentro.

A photo  of eight southeast-facing walls of Avenida António Áugusto de Aguiar 10, Lisboa, Portugal, in the late afternoon. As the light yellows, the clouds and blue sky behind me reflect in the building, with interior lights staring  to shine through. A person lurks inside.

The image shows an old, weathered window set into a wall. The window frame is made of wood and painted white, but the paint is peeling and chipped, revealing the old structure of the wood. The window has several panes divided by a crossbar made of wooden slats. The window is secured by metal struts, some of which show signs of rust and wear. The glass panes reflect a cloudy sky and some greenery outside, suggesting a natural environment. The window is surrounded by a thick, yellowish-brown plaster border, which is edged with a bold blue decorative strip that contrasts with the light gray wall. The base of the wall is painted red, adding a splash of color to the scene. The overall impression is that of a rustic, historic building in need of renovation.

A row of laminated glass windows stretches across the wall of an elevated subway station and recedes into the distance (converging with a line of fluorescent lights on the ceiling). The colored glass panels feature abstract circular compositions that evoke the sun, moon, and other aspects of the cosmos, all done in different rainbow hues. Sunlight streams through the windows and projects their designs onto the floor in colorful squares of light.

This is part of an art installation titled “I AM A RAINBOW TOO,” by the Choctaw-Cherokee artist Jeffrey Gibson, at the Astoria Blvd station in Queens, NY. According to the MTA website, the installation “honors and reflects the evolving and diverse population of people from countless backgrounds and cultures that make up the communities in Astoria, Queens and New York City overall. The artwork focuses on the ROYGBIV colors of the light spectrum, which has long been used by many communities to reflect diversity, inclusivity, and hope. Through this artwork, Gibson embraces and celebrates innumerable cultures by inserting a spectrum of skin tones into the already recognizable rainbow color scheme.”
