Here, Rabbitwoman and Dogman have got caught up in an extra-large gust. They don’t seem to mind too much though, as long as the coffee falls in their mouth…

Come out, come out Hippo, wherever you are (Bronze Sculpture)
Description
The game of hide and seek conjures feelings from our childhood of safety, love and joy. Gillie and Marc believe that all people and all creatures have the right to live in a world where safety and love are the rule, not the exception. Unfortunately, safety is often seen as a privilege rather than a right for many species of animals. Endangered species have had to hide from humankind for far too long. With 'Come out, come out wherever you are', the artists call on the world to welcome these species out from hiding and into a place of safety and love.

They were planting a greener future (Bronze Sculpture)
Description
Rabbitwoman and Dogman love nature. They love it not just because it’s beautiful, not just because it makes their mood better, but also because it’s so very important. They had been feeling so sad, seeing the beautiful trees being cut down to make way for human development, seeing animals pushed out of their homes as the loggers moved in, and seeing the climate changing because of human impact. They decided to do something. They began planting as many trees as they could for a more loving and beautiful future.

Description
Music has the power to dive into people’s hearts and emotions, transcending borders and touching the whole world.

Inspired by the fact that in some form, every one of us has created, listened to, and shared music, the works celebrate the connectivity that music brings for all humanity. The Musicians is part of a progressive global project by the artists called #TravelEverywhereWithLove, which was born out of the conviction that it’s more important than ever that we put our differences aside and protect each other through love. By listening to people across the world through the art of music, we can begin to understand each other on a higher level and can come together in friendship to change the world. By sharing a photo with the hashtag #TravelEverywhereWithLove, you’ll be standing with your fellow humans who believe in love and acceptance.
