Here's a fascinating fact about art and design: The world's most expensive piece of art ever sold at auction is "Salvator Mundi" by Leonardo da Vinci. It was sold for a staggering $450.3 million in 2017. This shows the incredible value that art can hold in our society.

Work of Art depicts feelings, emotions from different perspective. Imagine being able to turn stone into wet silk.
"Undine Rising From the Water" by American sculptor Chauncey Bradley Ives (1880) is a masterpiece of neo-classical illusionistic sculpture.
The artist took on one of the hardest task imaginable - carving from solid marble, the rippling wet gown of the "Undine" as she rises up from the water.
According to medieval lore, undines were Mediterranean sea spirits who lived as soulless mortals. Baron Heinrich Karl de la Motte Fouque's 19th century novel "Undine" popularized the story of of a water spirit gaining human form by marrying a mortal knight. When her husband is unfaithful, the laws of the water spirits force her to kill him.
The sculpture depicts the moment when the mournful Undine, cloaked in a delicate veil, rises from the water to claim her husband's life.

Mount Rushmore was the brain child of a South Dakota historian named Doane Robinson, who was looking for a way to attract more tourists to his state. He hired a sculptor named Gutzon Borglum to carve the faces into the mountain. Though the Lakota Sioux people, who considered the Black Hills to be sacred ground, strongly opposed the project. The mountain was previously part of the Great Sioux Reservation before being taken away from them by the U.S. government.
Sculpting began on the mountain in 1927, Washington's face was the first to be completed in 1934. Jefferson's was dedicated in 1936 - with then president Franklin Roosevelt in attendance - and Lincoln's was completed a year later. In 1939, Teddy Roosevelt's face was completed.
Mount Rushmore National Memorial is a massive sculpture carved into Mount Rushmore in the Black Hills region of South Dakota. Completed in 1941 under the direction of Gutzon Borglum and his son Lincoln, the sculpture's roughly 60-ft.-high granite faces depict U.S. presidents George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Theodore Roosevelt and Abraham Lincoln. The site also features a museum with interactive exhibits.

I want to be remembered
like a valiant warrior
of my tales of valour
with my name
written down in the book of historic record;
my memories unceasing;
the chronicles unforgotten

l want to be remembered
like a king
who ruled in truth and justice;
guided his people rightly; and
prioritize parity principle a priority
A king that put his people's interest as first
granting utmost satisfaction unto them.

I want to be remembered
as a black man
proud of his skin color and kind;
the beauty and uniqueness it imbibe
that the white men envied through time
strong and impeccable in rise
stood to defend his nation
till the last breath of his mouth.

I want to remembered
like a wildly experienced writer
excellent at creativity
with colourful imaginations that express positivity
His works marveled the world;
his name traveled ages throughout worlds
like a writing god in human form, he reigned
fame beyound comparison, he gained.

l want to be remembered—
a true lenged
who united nations
on the treaties of peace;
banished the anguish and sorrow of the desolated and lost souls to a cease;
Taught the young minds to
refrain from odds;
and amongst them love be made king
and give in to a better tomorrow; a better world
on the trail of hard work, perseverance and hope.

playmates

Like SpongeBob and Patrick,
They were first of friends'ship;
Bestest playing buddies
and embraced the world companionship
of each other than whatever gold dust

They were different bodies
acting one heart and mind;
and never to unbind;
in Dreamland and
through their lifetime

'till a heart stopped
And the other's world slowly crumbled
like a chalk into dust
He hated the sight
of every morning of everyday
without his playmate brother
And in mad misery
He satisfyingly wished death
And Oh! poor soul, his wish was met.
