An interesting phenomenon in optics is that it is possible to see a person behind a shower curtain better than that person can see us. This effect has been referred to as the shower curtain effect. We address the challenge of giving a precise mathematical description of this phenomenon. In addition we identify what governs the effect and discuss how imaging algorithms can be designed and analyzed when the objective is to image a source hidden behind a complex section.
