They Saw Her on the Beach by Arto Kripta

"...Here is where your ashes will be scattered.
Here is your home 6 years from now.
Here is your home 50 years ago.
Here is your redemption skin.
Your corner store.
Your corner stone.
Here is your Gramma’s house and dusted porcelain
and stuffed bears on the living room walls.
Here, where everything grows without permission.
Here, where sunflowers rise from the potholes

each and every summer."
-from This, Here by

Some moments are special. Some images not only accompany but indeed party create those moments.

A wall with angel wings but brick and light falls on it. Night light. Brighter than most of the surroundings. Underneath. A bike. Locked. Protected. Out there people on the steet. Nearby more lights, more hope of life lived.

To the right stands a prominent casino with colorful signs. Right across young men are distributing free Qur'an, the holy book of Islam. A blond in heavy make-up with her boyfriend is talking to one of the young men. Meanwhile throngs of people pass in between, ignorant of either.

"A detective has just drawn a circle
with a piece of chalk, a private circle
from which the victim will eventually look
up, not at random, not at will,
but when it calls to her,
the chalk, the crushed bones
of sea creatures who ringed the earth
when it was under water."

This art project was created using around 3 thousand nails on each artwork to create a unique animal, raising awareness to all the pollution we put in our nature. Full of details, this Lion was sculpted over 7 hours of work, then photographed by me and finish in Photoshop to add some cool textures. This artwork was made thinking that when a buyer gets it, he will be proud enough to showcase this art piece at their houses. Impactful, never boring and with a strong concept. Oh yeah, details!
