You’re Not Here: Feel Good Art

By @girlpollen · On March 9, 2014

Is it possible to be too happy, or cute? Friendswithyou dares to find out

We know, we “just want winter to be over” too; one can only hibernate with netflix and instant miso soup packets for so long. If you live in a city, the magic of snow has long worn off, leaving dirt piles in place of snowbanks and salt stains on all your nice shoes. The final month of winter is always the most difficult to get through, but don’t worry – we’ll always have art. If you’re in need of a little zen, or some bouncy sunshine vibes, check out the installation pieces below. Hang in, spring’s just around the corner.
