Prudence and Adventure on the1906 National Bank of Scotland on St Enoch Square in Glasgow. They were created by Phyllis Archibald, the only female sculptor I know of whose work adorns an Edwardian or Victorian building in the city.

Sculpture by American artist Young Joon Kwak, 2010s-20s, whose practice "questions conventional notions of representation and visibility while imagining new ways for racialized, trans, and nonnormative bodies to exist and thrive in spaces that surveil and police them."

In my journey to continue to find the good things in a world that’s breaking my heart on the daily, I found some beautifully-serene art.

Kinetic artist, Reuben Margolin uses skills in design, engineering, physics, electronics, and more. He creates motorized pieces that seem impossible. The one is called “Interlaced.”

A horizontal set of tall polished wooden planks that are arranged tightly together. Vertical wires pull them up and down in a pattern that makes them look like two sets of waves, gracefully dancing together. Then the shot zooms out to show the complicated array of gears and pulleys above them.
