Fauxdega by Lucy Sparrow
For her US solo exhibition debut, artist Lucy Sparrow opened a pop-up convenient store at the Standard, High Line Hotel. “Handmade in Manhattan: 8 Till Late” is a ‘fauxdega’ that features 9,000 handmade felt products that are all available for sale.
Sparrow transformed the 1,200 sq ft space into an exact convenient store replica with food, books, drinks and household products. The exhibition was intended to run from June 5 – June 30, but due to overwhelming demand—all of the products were sold, shelves were emptied and the store closed 9 days early on June 21. Sparrow even closed the store for 3 days midway through the show’s run to restock the shelves but was still unable to meet customer demand.

Nebula by Leonardoworx
NEBULA is an interstellar cloud of dust, hydrogen, helium and other ionised gases. Looking at one of these is like, at the same time, watching to the future and the past, due too the light velocity and the distance between us and them.
Leonardoworx made a design research about this concept, and "we are made of stardust" manifesto. It's an ordered disorder guided by abstract shapes with nebulas textures in a first step.
"In the second one I painted my imaginary textures (inspired always by real nebulas). Looking at universe is so inspiring and it shows how little we are in space and time dimensions," - says Leonardo
HI-RES by Romulo Celdran
Imagined and executed by Madrid-based artist, Rómulo Celdran, the artworks entitled HI-RES, are divided into three distinct categories: Solid, Voxel, and Mesh. The goal of HI-RES for Celdran is to emphasise the artist's undying preoccupation with the ever-evolving and limitless possibilities of the 3D virtual world. As the artist explains, its the 3D world's "capacity and plasticity as a valid reference for pictorial and sculptural creation."
Conversation
Emmanuel Levinas, a French philosopher, states that Other, dissimilar and incommensurable to oneself, appears to one as a ‘visage’. Though the manifestation of Other’s visage, both natural and inevitable, could seem to one as an unilateral intrusion, it establishes a passage to transcend the outer world from the enclosed inner self as the subject that perceives and embraces the visage. One, therefore, is completed from the responsibility and understanding of Other, ultimately finding one’s true self.
The photography project ‘Conversation’ is a journey that begins from concerns of acquaintances, eventually finding oneself in the process. In the photographs, the space becomes the world where one encounter the Other, and the cloth tossed into the air becomes the medium that draws out one's relationship with Other. Other, as an unsubstantial light flashed into space, actualises when the visage materialises onto the aimlessly tossed cloth, and one’s act of capturing the moment signifies one's conversation with the Other. One finds one’s essence through Other, not just an illusion of light, but as a real existent materialised on a white cloth.

Giovanni Gastel Photography
"Giovanni Gastel's static scenes provide an alluring and unsettling glimpse into private spaces characterised by poetic irony and balance"
"Combining minimalist design with voyeuristic angles, audiences are invited to measure and compare different modes of domesticity in the works of Giovanni Gastel. Each living room is a hive of conceptualised activity"
" Milan-born Giovanni Gastel first has contact with photography in the 1970s, which truly began to take shape in 1981 when he was introduced to the world of fashion, collaborating with the likes of @vogueitalia and @mondouomo. Ritratti di Living plays upon flattened shadows and deep colours, providing an emotional backdrop for the lifestyles advertised."

Doodle Art by Visoth Kakvei
"Cambodian artist Visoth Kakvei masterfully brings together symbolism and style, and no sketchbook has enough pages for his creativity.
The 27-year-old graphic designer usually draws his works freehand and the pieces take 3-6 hours to finish, but sometimes Kakvei feels it's not enough. So, to make his incredibly intricate maze-like illustrations even more stunning, the artist digitally enhances them, making the doodles appear as if they're popping out from the pages.
His mostly nature-inspired designs have already earned Visoth a staggering 800k following on Instagram and his fan army only keeps on growing."
