This boat is a floating work of art

The Trafaria Praia is more than just a passenger ferry; it's a floating work of art. The boat's exterior features a massive tile mural by Portuguese artist Joana Vasconcelos. Once you enter the lower deck, you'll see a surreal installation art from which crocheted pieces, meshed with strings of blinking LEDs, emerge in various shapes and sizes.

The vessel was built between 1959 and 1960. After undergoing major transformations, it was towed from Portugal to Italy in 2013 and became part the 55th Venice Biennale.

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.

Thai artist paints on mosquito nets

I find them quite intriguing, these ghostly portraits that Uttaporn Nimmalaikaew paints on mosquito nets. His creations look like a hologram, changing form depending on where the viewer stands. Overall, they're gloomy, haunting, and endlessly fascinating. I could stare at them for ages. [h/t: Colossal ]
