INSPIRATIONAL SUNDAYS – BURNING MAN Part II







INSPIRATIONAL SUNDAYS – BURNING MAN Part II
Although other music festivals such as Coachella or Tomorrowland also rejoice in peace, love and enjoyment of artistic brilliance, Burning Man is so much more. A population built on the principles of radical inclusivity, the encouragement of creative expression, and the forgoing of monetary transactions heightens the sense of community unlike any other event.

INSPIRATIONAL SUNDAYS – FOOD FLAGS
The last post of today continues to follow the “food art” topic. To promote the Sydney International Food Festival, advertising agency, WHYBIN\TBWA were challenged to recreate multiple country’s flags by using the foods they are commonly associated with.

2 – Brazil – banana leaf, limes, pineapple, passion fruit
3 – Vietnam – rambutan, lychee, starfruit
4 – India – two types of curries, rice, pappadum wafer
5 – UK – scone, clotted cream, blueberry and strawberry jam
6 – Italy – basil leaves, spaghetti, tomatoes

Art is a term with unrestricted parameters. We try to define it, but this free flowing essence is too difficult to capture in one concise sentence. Art can be colour, texture, and design; it can be music, fashion, and architecture. This undefinable spirit is all around us, every day. It has the ability to change our moods and our perspectives. Art can truly emerge from anything.
