Soho London, by Dive Architects

The owner initially had no idea what to do with such a cramped space. The architects proposal was to extend the building over an existing terrace. They placed two large sliding doors that open into cavities within the walls, this allows residents to enjoy the open air on a beautiful day.

Music paints a canvass like no words or pictures can possibly capture. It's the music, coupled with that memorable movie scene, that gives us chills. The music draws us in, and dares us to imagine the possibility. Simply put... we are living vicariously and more importantly we know we deserve our own frozen moment in time.

Music has a way of digging into your core, latching on and cementing itself to the very essence of every moment in our life.  Music locks in that 1st kiss, makes the long car rides bearable, soothes us when we are sad, and make us dance like idiots in front of a mirror. 

New Orleans-based artist Candy Chang gives people a chance to confess thoughts without having to feel vulnerable to the outside world. Her installation, entitled Confessions, is a public art project that took place in The Cosmopolitan in Las Vegas, Nevada. For one month, Chang lived in Vegas and turned the P3 Studio Gallery into an interactive exhibit. Visitors could stop by, enter a booth, write whatever thoughts they wanted to share, and drop the confession into a box that mixed anonymously with other slips. Chang then took the anonymous slips and displayed them on the walls, painting selected responses in white against a larger red canvas background.

According to Chang's website, "This project seeks to create a cathartic sanctuary for this temporary community and help us see we are not alone in our quirks, experiences, and struggles as we try to lead fulfilling lives."
