I have seen pictures of unicorns but I have not, nor can I ever see a live unicorn. Does this mean that unicorns are non-existent? In the image in this post a reflection of part of the Chicago skyline is seen in the stainless steel sculpture commonly called “The Bean” by many Chicagoans. There are two questions that arise from this image. First, does the common name “The Bean,” the name ascribed to a sculpture by visitors, one that actually bears the name “Cloud Gate,” represent something other than intended by the artist? Secondly, does the reflection of the buildings to the west reflected against the curves of the stainless steel while I am facing east and seen in the image in mirror view tell the “truth” of the skyline, of Cloud Gate (aka The Bean), or is the image a capture of a distorted fiction that only exists as a flawed reflection of the real?
