The World Begins with every kiss mural
Get ready for a kiss of creativity! Standing before The World Begins with Every Kiss mural, you can’t help but smile. Created in 2014 by photographer Joan Fontcuberta and ceramist Antoni Cumella, this joyful piece shows two people kissing—but look closer! It’s made up of 4,000 tiny ceramic tiles, and each one is actually a personal photo. The two artists gathered, printed, and arranged these snapshots, turning everyday moments into one giant puzzle of love and life.
