Coffee Kiss

Mighty Optical Illusions recently posted one of my favorite sculptures of the year: Coffee Kiss, by Tsang Cheung.

The sculpture is not only gorgeous, but rich in symbolism as well. It depicts Yuanyang, a popular Hong Kong beverage made by mixing coffee and tea. The drink represents marriage and conjugal love.

There is so much movement in the stillness, as if we’re witnessing a surreal moment frozen in time. Absolutely captivating.

  1. “We’ll have more time for coffee flavored kisses and a good time coversation-o….” (sorry, this post made me start singing the monkees for some reason)

  2. This is so effin’ cool! I think it’s an excellent work of art and I’m kind of amazed out how it stands up, structurally speaking. Art is just unlimiting.

  3. I agree — great minds do think alike. I fell in love — pun aside — with this piece the moment I saw it. Its shameful to ever hope that such a piece goes into mass production, but I’m a shameful individual so I have no problem hoping for such so that I may have a copy of this for my home .^_^.
