🎨 Support — By Lorenzo Quinn in Venice, Italy 🇮🇹
These massive hands are giving this building a much needed hug! They represent how we need to support our planet as sea levels rise. It is like the hotel is getting a high five from the ocean. This sculpture is both beautiful and a very big reminder to stay green.

🎨 The Weight of Grief — By Celeste Roberge
This person looks like they have a lot on their mind and even more in their stomach! It is a steel body filled with actual stones to show how heavy feelings can be. It is a rocky road to walk but this art makes it look stunning. Talk about having a heart of stone!

🎨 True Nature — By Daniel Popper in Cancún, Mexico
Ever feel like you just need to take your face off and enjoy the garden? This giant sculpture shows a figure doing exactly that. It is tucked away in the green leaves of Mexico. It is the perfect place for a giant to play hide and seek!

🎨 Finding a good balance in life — By Sasha Korban in Tbilisi, Georgia
Don’t try this at home unless you are a professional mural character! This girl is balancing on a tower of tilting chairs to represent how we navigate life. She makes it look much easier than I would! It is a beautiful metaphor for finding harmony in the world’s chaos.

🎨 6. Girl Writing by Rubble — By Ramon Perez Sendra
Even when things are falling apart art can make it better. This young girl is busy drawing right next to a pile of old bricks. The colors are warm and make the whole corner feel cozy. It is amazing what a little imagination can do for a construction site!

🎨 Be Someone That Makes You Happy
This kid is a tiny editor with a very big message! He fixed the wall to tell us that our own happiness comes first. It is a simple stencil that packs a big punch of joy. Who knew grammar and paint could be so inspiring?
🎨 Bear Hug
This cyclist found the perfect place for a nap! He is taking a break in the arms of a friendly bear statue. The little bear cub looks a bit confused but very supportive. It is the ultimate way to recharge after a long bike ride!

Thank you for a free glimpse, at this time l have no money to contribute. The Be Happy one is the one l vote for for two reasons. First, the child is disabled, having lost her left lower leg. When you observe the picture, it resounds the complexity of being happy. Second, because she is also learning, with the edits to her grammar and punctuation. I still need to work on my own use of grammar and proofreading. Knowledge and education open many doors to opportunity. A happy disposition is what keeps one optimistic. Despite disadvantages this child will grow and prosper. l hope she finds herself happy every day. Thank you for allowing me to see this photo.
Hands in Venice, True Nature and good balance in life. Truly they are all meaningful.
Balancing on chairs, True Nature
