The trailer for 'The Light Between Oceans' is easily the most emotionally devastating thing you'll see today

I have not read the book it's based on, but the movie version of The Light Between Oceans, starring Michael Fassbender, Alicia Vikander and Rachel Weisz, looks pretty solid—the kind of movie that wins awards. Based on the best-selling novel from M.L. Stedman, the Derek Cianfrance-directed film follows the story of a lighthouse-tending couple (Fassbender and Vikander) that end up raising a baby they rescue from a boat. But several years later, the child's mother (Weisz) appears, explaining that she lost her baby at sea around the same time. It hits theaters on September 2.

Where Fantasy Meets Folklore

Timothée Humbert creates wild, zoomorphic sculptures that pull the viewer into an imaginary world. This place is full of strange, funny, and sometimes grotesque little beings. His creatures feel ancient and childlike at the same time; one can't tell if they are jokes, spells, or something sacred. Humbert was born in Paris in 1979. While primarily a ceramic artist, he also draws, paints, and engraves. He earned his Fine Arts diploma in 2004, and a year later, he set up his studio. Since then, he has created nothing but one-of-a-kind pieces. These include monsters grinning like kids who know something you don't, skulls with attitude, and oddball geniuses who might be ghosts. His style mashes together global traditions and pop culture. You can trace the lines from Japanese ceramics, African sculpture, and Mexican Día de los Muertos, then, out of nowhere, find manga, fantasy, and sci-fi. Together, they create a kind of postmodern language—a jumble of hieroglyphs that hum with life....

The Adorable Sculptures of Yen Yen Lo

These images are from a series of wall sculptures created by Yen Yen Lo . Here you can see her intricately textured ceramic pieces, looking downright adorable. Yen Yen Lo's eye for the unique and whimsical is delightful. Apparently they are not intended for kids under 16. Fifteen-year-olds cannot be trusted with fragile stuff. Get them a Funko Pop instead.

A Declaration in Spray Paint

Street art has rewritten the story of cities. What used to be blank concrete now hums with color. It's not just rebellion—it's existence, declared in aerosol. Murals rise where billboards used to glare. Festivals sprout up, neighborhoods come alive, and what was once vandalism becomes culture. We have to thank the people behind this, artists like Dasic Fernández . The Chilean-born, New York-based muralist wants to make the world more colorful. His works spill across continents—from Chinatown to Santiago to the desert of Diriyah. Each one transforms a gray, ignored corner into something radiant, impossible to overlook. While studying architecture in Chile, he became obsessed with how art could shape the city itself. Street art, for him, was the purest form of dialogue: direct, public, and alive. “Painting on the street,” he says, “carries great responsibility—both artistic and social.” Here are some of my favorites.
