This is a floating art exhibit in Boston Harbor called SOS (Safety Orange Swimmers) "Meant to evoke the global refugee crisis amid unrest abroad, the featureless swimmers of SOS will all be painted “safety orange,” the same hue used in life vests." I thought it was very interesting and different but in the short time I was there taking photos I had to explain what it was to at least 10 people. One ditzy young woman actually asked us if they were real!!! I had read about it in advance of going so not sure if I would have got it myself if I had not expected it. I did think the lack of women and children refugees kept it from being even more impactful.
