Piece description from the artist
A different take on the street. I always feel like this stretch of Mass Ave. is really interesting late at night. Still a lot of traffic, but something about the architecture and the businesses and signs feels very quiet and heavy in a way. I tried to capture that mood, along with the intense summer humidity that blankets the city and makes things even more sluggish and quiet.
