Behind a shop's display glass, a native American artwork awaits a rich customer to buy it and take it home. While across the street a giant skyscraper is under construction (see the reflection).

@Mingo: Thanks
Superb artistry, and absolutely masterly composition, my dear friend. I love how you’ve caught the reflection of the construction work in the glass. Beautifully unique presentation of this piece. Awesome juxtaposition of ancient culture and modern ‘development’. Truly outstanding.

@Rebecca: Thank you very much dear Rebecca
allow me to give you my interpretation of this image; i see the mask as a reminder of the way the indian culture was destroyed so as to make way for modernity. I love the image!

@Rags: That's very true as well, modernity vs. tradition
Interesting image, Amir!! The reflections do so give that contradiction of the modern and the ancient. Also love that beaver (I think) mask... I have a lot Haida art on my walls; it's my favourite native art form.
