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."

The Forgotten Dream by Flora Borsi
Ellis Island, in Upper New York Bay, was the gateway for over 12 million immigrants to the United States as the nation's busiest immigrant inspection station for over sixty years from 1892 until 1954. Photographer Flora Borsi was shocked by the fact about 3500 people lost their lifes on Island while waiting and hoping for an opportunity for a new life. So she created a project "The Forgotten Dream" to remember all that hopes and fears
“I would like to draw attention to the Immigrants who wanted to live a better life in America. I tried to connect past and present with visualising these people in today’s environment. Black and white images from the previous century are often forgotten, so I colorised them and retouched the damages to make more connected to the present. The images are fictional, many people couldn’t ever get into Manhattan or live in America.
Migration is an ongoing situation and the story of Ellis Island is still relevant nowadays.
This is not history. This is today.”
Eight Phases of Illumination by Aramique
From sensory overload to sensory deprivation, "Huit phases de l’illumination" (Palais de Tokyo, Pairs, 2015) is a collaborative mixed-reality audio-visual experiment created by artist Aramique. Eight physical installations function as a conduit into eight infinite virtual realities. Using abstractions of time, space, sound, colour, form, depth and speed to manipulate the audience's sense of self and connection to the to the present moment we create a forced enlightenment that disconnects the audience from their physical bodies and lets them be one with the virtual universe.
Light Barrier
Created by Seoul based duo Kimchi and Chips, The Light Barrier Third Edition is the latest and largest in the series of works by the studio to create volumetric drawings in the air using hundreds of calibrated video projections.
The installations present a semi-material mode of existence, materialising objects from light. The third edition continues to exploit the confusion and non-conformities at the boundary between materials and non-materials, reality and illusion, and existence and absence. The viewer is presented with a surreal vision that advances the human instinct of duration and space. The name refers to the light barrier in relativistic physics, which separates things that are material from things that are light, and since 1983 has been used to specify the exact meaning of the metric system of spatial measure.

More than 500 jewel beetles’ wings were necessary to make this stunning piece where the incredible colours of these wings strongly contrast with the pureness of the porcelain biscuit.
P.s. Note that jewel beetles wings are a product of leftovers from Asian restaurants, they sold it on special fairs to artists like Jan Fabre etc.
