    That’s not an eggplant. Those are two heads in a tight hug with facial features removed for abstraction.

    the artist is just channeling their love for one another via MLK's indiscretions.

    I would give you the stars in the sky
    But they're too far away
    If you were a hooker, you know
    I'd be happy to pay
    If suddenly you were a guy
    I'd be suddenly gay

    'Cause my heart belongs to you
    My love is pure and true
    My heart belongs to you
    But my dong is community property

    So the purpose was to just show the arms embracing, minus the heads? It does look weird.

    Tinman insults art, meanwhile in his living room ->

    (I can infer this based on his love for Mattress Mac Gallery Furniture **** furniture)

    So, I saw this yesterday and thought maybe I was seeing it from the wrong angle and now I get many pics and can't make out heads or tails of what this is..................I do not know art but I can say this is really ugly. I get that artists have some freedom of imagination but didnt he/she have to show some type of rendition before it was approved to start building? The more I look at it the worse it gets..........take it down and start over

    Boston is now finding creative ways to be racist.

    I looked at it from all angles. Checked out the artist’s work. I actually changed my mind. It’s very well made not a bad concept at all…
