Time and Creation

To quote George Bernard Shaw, “Life isn’t about finding yourself. Life is about creating yourself”.

The Shoe Tree

Converse, the American shoe company, sponsored a giant mural featuring the words “Create Together For Tomorrow” which decorates a building in front of the Politechnika metro station in Warsaw, Poland. The mural, designed by landscape architect Dawid Ryski in collaboration with muralist Maciek Polak, was painted with special photocatalytic, smog-eating varnishes which claim to have the same environmental effect as planting 780 trees.
