Building image, Boston


An enormous image on the side of the Hancock Tower in Boston.  It took me quite a while to decide that yes, I was really seeing this and it wasn't some trick of the light or a reflection. But yes, there is a person standing on a raft, five stories tall and forty above the ground---presumably painted on the windows? I'm also not sure whether the rippling white and blue across the rest of the surface is just reflection or another portion of the image.  And above all: what is it there for? Is this an ad, or simply art?
