"Likhoborskie Gate," Moscow, 2005,

Nikolay Polisski creates impressive, handcrafted structures in the middle of Russia's vast landscapes.

His works are built entirely by the area's residents, using local materials, such as branches, trunks and wooden tables. Traditional construction techniques are used as a starting point for the projects.

His work is inspiring not only because of its imposing form, but also because he managed to re-activate a semi-abandoned village through art and architecture, involving residents in the creative process and transforming the region into a sort of open cultural center.

“FOREST OF KAMI” by Ayumi Shibata

Ayumi makes breathtaking large-scale installation made entirely of hand-cut paper, layered to form an ethereal white forest. She draws inspiration from “Kami,” the spirit of the forest in Japanese belief, inviting viewers into a quiet, sacred space made of light, shadow, and impossibly delicate detail.

She builds depth and dimension by layering many pieces of cut paper to form immersive scenes, with intricate detail .
