Description

The book Reflections is a collection of art installations that used the windows at Saks Fifth Avenue stores as a venue. The cover had to represent a diverse collection of artists. By listing the artists names on the cover, no one individual was featured too prominently but all were included. By printing Reflections backwards it puts the reader on the inside of the windows, looking out.
