Art, although very subjective, can bring out emotions, make you think and challenge you to see things differently. The first piece was featured several years ago at the Burning Man festival in Nevada. Love sculpture by Ukrainian artist Alexander Milov features two wire-frame adults sitting back to back with their inner child reaching out to each other from within. At night, the inner children lit up as well. You're free to come to your conclusions about the Burning Man sculpture's meaning, but here's what Milov wrote about the sculpture on the festival's website: "It demonstrates a conflict between a man and a woman as well as the outer and inner expression of human nature. Their inner selves are executed in the form of transparent children, who are holding out their hands through the grating. As it's getting dark (night falls) the children start to shine. This shining is a symbol of purity and sincerity that brings people together and gives a chance of making up when the dark time arrives." What do you think of this sculpture?

A photography student from Beausoleil First Nation in Ontario is hoping to bring awareness to missing and murdered Indigenous women and girls in Canada through her art. Charla Sylvester, 25 took the photo of a young woman on the ground looking up at the camera, her mouth covered and her body wrapped and taped up in a Canadian flag. Sylvester's cousin posed for the photo. Sylvester was thinking of Tina Fontaine, the 15-year-old from Sagkeeng First Nation whose body was found wrapped in a duvet when she was pulled from the Red River in Winnipeg in 2014. "I feel like she's a major face for the issue and her story really impacted me," said Sylvester. In February, Raymond Cormier was acquitted of charges in Fontaine's death. The verdict fuelled rallies across the country and brought up questions around the Canadian justice system. "Other girls are found at the bottom of river banks, wrapped up, and I thought what's a better way to express that by using the Canadian flag as a body bag." Do you think her shot delivered the message she intended?
