The world is full of beautiful creations. Human brains and ideas when these two matters merge together then there would be a wonderful creation. When a sculptor is experimenting with his idea then the idea becomes a unique design. Let’s look at some beautiful sculptures around the world

Sculptor Paige Bradley created this beautiful sculptor “Expansion”. Her works mostly focused on tensions and liberations.
