Artist Patches Up the Streets of Lyon With His Wonderful Mosaics

The Japanese culture teaches the art of kintsugi, where broken objects are not something to hide but to display with pride. It’s called kintsugi or kintsukuroi, which means golden (“kin”) and repair (“tsugi”). It is one of the most beautiful things I have ever seen, finding beauty in something that is thought to be a trash. Ememem is an artist from France, who does something like that. Ememem finds potholes on the streets of Lyon, France and fills them up with beautifully decorated mosaics.

Although a lot of artists wouldn’t choose potholes as their canvas, Ememem’s work can really bright your day once you see it while randomly walking down the street. He uses bright colors to make his work pop out, and really it’s a great addition to the cracked roads. The artist’s mission is to patch up the broken pavement of the city and transform it into something beautiful.

” I’m a sidewalks’ poet, a modern minstrel that tells popular stories…I admit I really like when they call me ‘contemporary artist’ even if I know I’m just a son of a bitumen. The street rocked part of my childhood and all my adolescence. I had no plans to become a street artist at all but it made sense to become one,” shared the artist when reached out by Earthwonders.

“The flacking is a place of love . With that technic, I try to write a poem that everybody can read. But I’m not just Mother Teresa of the mistreated sidewalks. My work forms a memory notebook of the city. It reveals what happened, the life in this public places. Here cobblestones have been picked up and thrown, there a truck from the vegetable market tore off a piece of asphalt… I take note and this memory becomes a “flack” I will continue this research to experience all the poetic and emotional forces that can enrich my work according to the nature of each repaired hole,” added the artist,” added the artist.

23 Y.O. Daughter Who Lives At Her Dad’s House Rent-Free “Exposes” Him On Social Media For Excluding Her From Family Vacation By Not Buying Her A Plane Ticket

Each parent has a different parenting style. With each parenting style comes a different way of showing a misbehaving child their wrongdoing, along with a different way of correcting such wrongdoings.

This father had a very terrible daughter. In his post in the Am I The A-Hole subreddit, he began by describing his daughter as someone who had a bad attitude and barely made it through high school. This is in contrast with her younger sister, who was the cream of the crop. To reward the younger, he thought of taking her on a fully-paid vacation. When the older heard of it, she wanted to come but agreed that she would pay her expenses. Come the day of the trip, the older hadn’t paid for her trip yet because she assumed that her father would vouch for her. Follow the full story below!
