Colosses | Fabrice Fouillet | Via

Statues are often idealized works of art. They are ideological, political or religious representations and attempt to turn their subjects into fascinating, eternal figures. Even when erected to keep alive the memory of a single person, a statue that lasts many generations will eventually establish itself as a symbol for the community. 

Statues are even more influential when they are monumental. An edifice can be said to be monumental when it is unusual, extraordinary and physically imposing. It has to be abnormal — as exceptional as the political or religious power itself — and also inseparable from its symbolic aspects.

The series “Colosses” is a study of the landscapes that embrace monumental commemorative statues.

A vertical forest is expected to be completed this year in Milan. There are two tower apartment complexes which contain a total of 400 residential units. The facade of the buildings will be covered with 730 trees, 5,000 shrubs, and 11,000 perennial plants. It is expected to have the same ecological impact as 10,000 square meters of forest.

Aside from fighting smog and producing oxygen, the foliage is expected to provide insulation to the residential units.

cat marshmallows

What’s fluffy, sweet and too adorable to eat? Cat marshmallows! Now you can have cat inspired beverages in the comfort of your own home thanks to Yawahada, a Japanese specialist marshmallow shop.

The paw print marshmallows come in three types; for placing milk teas, matcha (green tea) lattes and hot chocolates.

Not only are they super kawaii, these spongy cat paws actually poke through the froth of your drink! Even after the paw melts, it covers your beverage with ‘paw art’.

If you think these paws are the bee’s knees, just wait till you see ‘Café Cat’. When placed in hot chocolate, it looks as though a kitty is peaking through your drink!

Cat marshmallows can be bought separately or in gift sets. The Café Cat and Paw box comes with two cats and two paw prints for 840 yen ($AUD8.99). Yawahada currently only ships within Japan, however if you’re visiting Japan, you’ll able to place an order and get the delicious treats delivered to where you’re staying, you lucky duck you!
