Sanity Break #1

We fell immediately in love with this photograph by Elliott Erwitt. He says of his craft: “It’s about reacting to what you see, hopefully without preconception. You can find pictures anywhere.

Here’s your zen moment for the day. Tokyo-based “ultra-technologists” teamLab created an immersive installation ‘Floating Flower Garden; Flowers and I are of the Same Root, the Garden and I are One’—created with 13,000 living orchids. Yes, watching this video is every bit as relaxing as that title. Take a deep breath and chill.
