Box 1: "Side by Side" - Eli Portman (expand)
Side by Side
The piece vividly contrasts scenes from the South Boston waterfront’s industrial past with today’s vibrant community and nightlife. It’s a side-by-side comparison of how Bostonians have and will use the space and environment around them in an almost impressionistic style.
