art :: unusual snowglobes

Like most people, I love snow globes. And I love them even more when they are as unique, quirky and odd as these from the NY Artist team Walter Martin & Paloma Muñoz.

Snow Globes 2000-2006

The artists' created their "Travelers" Snow Globe series 2000-2007 to be no longer the "kitschy souvenirs" of childhood but instead dark, thought provoking narratives of human interaction, loneliness, alienation and the human condition.

Pretty JUST COOL...eh?? I think so!
