Creativity Around the World

A collection of pieces that caught my eye as having something extra about them.

‘We’, a sculpture consisting of characters from every language in the world in the shape of a human being, or ‘the typical Canadian’ according to a passerby.

Called ‘The Subtle Stone Eater’ by Jonas Guitarrez, it was inspired by the sound of the waves washing over the rocks. The artist made his black shiny belly of obsidian, a black volcanic glass found inland where the volcanoes are.
