10 Breathtaking Modern Monuments in Brazil

National Congress of Brazil by Oscar Niemeyer

In what building does your national congress meet? If you take a step back, look at your national buildings with fresh eyes, they generally reflect a time far past and a symbolism long dead. In Brazil, the renowned architect Oscar Niemeyer gave his vision to his own country’s congress with the National Congress of Brazil building. The design yields the feeling of balanced emotion, with two opposing sides intersected by a symbol of equality. Whether the cup is half full or half empty, it is the justice of the national congress of Brazil that provides the true balance. Niemeyer’s vision is alive and well in the Brazilian congress of today.

Recycled Clothing Art by Guerra De La Paz

The Cuban-born artist duo Guerro De La Paz have created a series of sculptural art works out of discarded, recycled clothing. These figures of sculptural iconography are made from t-shirts, shoes, boots, socks and more, many of which have been dug out of secondhand stores in Little Haiti, Miami. The message Guerro De La Paz conveys with their recycled clothing art is about the consume-and-discard nature of our mass-produced lifestyles. Our habits of consumption put us so very far away from the creation of the items we use– and just as far away from the piles of trash they become. Guerra De La Paz doesn’t see trash, in this sense, but an opportunity for artistic beauty and expression.
