Ultra Modern Fireplaces by Elena Colombo

Spending more time and money on our outdoor spaces has been a growing trend for a while now, and fire pits and fireplaces are a huge part of outdoor décor. That being said, the fire-features that are becoming available on the market now are more sleek, modern and luxurious than ever before.

The fire sculptures here from Colombo Construction Corporation are dramatic examples of the future of outdoor accessories. I love the burning steel rocks and balls, and the cantilevered flaming waterfall called ‘Fire Spill’ is stunning. They are made of steel, bronze and stainless steel, and are equipped to burn either propane or natural gas, so they burn cleaner and are more convenient and safer than wood.

GRACIE HAGEN : SECRETOMOTOR PHENOMENON 

Cry·ing  /ˈkrī-iNG/ - the act is defined as a complex secretomotor phenomenon characterized by the shedding of tears from the lacrimal apparatus, without any irritation of the ocular structures.

Chicago based Photographer Gracie Hagen is uses her lens to explore the vulnerable side of human emotions in this compelling and intrusive photo series Secretomotor Phenomenon.

"In an age where nudity is less vulnerable than genuine emotions, I wanted to explore an aspect of peoples lives that are hidden. These are the faces of the intentionally vulnerable. They’re showing you a part of themselves that is usually saved for their loved ones or even sometimes, just themselves. You don’t know why they are crying, but you know that this is a rare look into a stranger’s most personal moments. Things that were private, now made public."
