Red Hong Yi’s latest work is a giant portrait of revered artist Ai Weiwei, inspired by a quote about one of his own works. The piece was created using about 20,000 sunflower seeds carefully placed on a large canvas. As quickly as her creation comes together, it’s gone.

The Internet allows artists to reach billions of people, but it also emphasizes quantifiers of talent or success: views, likes, follows. Adam Westbrook uses Vincent Van Gogh’s drive to remind us that – artist or not – if you love what you’re doing, then that’s more than enough.
