Absolutely breathtaking sculptures, and a wonderful soundtrack to go along with the visuals. Leonardo Da Vinci would be proud.

For What It's Worth
As time does pass she drowns in shadows,
I wish to help, yet wade in waters shallow.
The chains that confine covered in rust,
A love so unrivalled opposed to lust.
The day will come when she witnesses light,
And I will be there to emphasize the bright.
So here I wait and pray, through thick and thin,
For the day us lovers do meet again.
Steady heart which beats so slow,
How I beg, please don't plateau.
Yet, as time does pass, she drowns in shadows.

LEGO Visual Interpretations
Award-winning Australian photographer Dean West has teamed up with LEGO artist Nathan Sawaya on a series of tableau compositions.
Real-life photography is combined with specially-sculpted LEGO objects, spurring viewers to deconstruct the elements of each picture.
Minimal, chilling, and at times mundane, the images reflect an eery yet recognizable American landscape, drawing users to the familiarity of the scene which contrasts with the aloof and isolated depictions of the people pictured.
*Hint - The LEGO's are all hidden in each picture. Example would be the dog above*

Asia's Tallest Mural by Hendrik Beikirch
"German artist hendrik beikirch, known by his alias ECB has created asia's tallest mural in busan, south korea, by painting a monochromatic image of a local fisherman in his 60's on a building stretching over 70 meters (230 ft.) in height. set to contrast architect daniel libeskind's haeundae i’park building in the background, the installation becomes a symbol for the rapid development of korea and the progression of financial growth within a country that was poor not to long ago.
The mural of the working class man represents a significant portion of korea‘s population that has not been affected by the economic growth and until now, lives under very different circumstances compared to their affluent neighbors. staring into an intangible space with his face marked with wrinkles, still wearing long plastic gloves – a sign that there are still men and women like him at this age working for a living.
Despite this, the painting conveys a positive message seen in the emotion shown by the fisherman, where statement in korean letters translate the phrase 'where there is no struggle, there is no strength'. unlike other artists, the entire installation is conceived without of a projector or a sketch on the wall. the project was developed in collaboration with public delivery, an organization who has contributed to the promotion
of contemporary art throughout Asia and Europe." - Design Boom
