In the case of French street artist, OaKoAk, they take what the city gives to them and creates a witty street piece.

I could show you some cool testaments to the fact, such as the Architecture for Humanity-sponsored projects in Afghanistan and Manhattan, opening today.

It's described as an over-sized bird's nest that's perfect for relaxation, meditation and open-air conversations. Awesome Conceptual Photography Awesome Conceptual Photograph - Conceptual photography as a part of conceptual art is a photography genre in which the artist makes a photograph of a concept or idea. Usually the conception of the idea precedes the realization of the photography. This kind of photography often involves use of computer editing to achieve the desired effects , but many artists work without the computer. They “ put in place ” the things and the beings that will be the subject of the final photograph , and the placement of those things and beings “build” the concept, the idea, and the final outcome.
