Von Wong’s sister is almost 8 months pregnant and his mom wanted him to take some maternity photos of her – so the family teamed up and got creative!

Corn cob skyscrapers and fantasy landscapes are maternity memories that will never be forgotten

After noticing that corn cobs looked like Skyscrapers, Von Wong’s Mom asked if he could help her create a series of tiny-world portraits of his 8-month pregnant sister and her husband. Von’s sister is a pretty adventurous lady, but since the lockdowns began they’ve all been trapped indoors… so the family decided to give her an adventure from the comforts of their own home, and the results are quite amazing! Von posted the video on TikTok and unexpectedly, it blew up with over 3M views in less than a week. Follow for more on Instagram, TikTok, and Facebook.

The little silhouettes were stuck onto thin pieces of wire. We used scraps of wood that my mom found while walking in the park. We then added a couple fly swatters to help add texture and color to our cell phone flashlights. Simple pieces of bark picked up from the floor during a walk in the park.

My mom spent her days looking at random household objects to see how they could be used in unique and interesting ways. She used aluminum foil to create a reflection inside of a takeout lid she had hoarded for years. From there, we combined it with some incense she had lying around. The final touch was to use a small translucent orange bag to create the sunset!

LET’S CREATE A WORLD IN WHICH FLYING IS NO LONGER THE NORM, BUT THE EXCEPTION

Because of the corona virus, international air traffic has reached a historic low. If billions of emergency government funding remain absent, many airlines will go bankrupt within a few months. But could this problem possibly be an opportunity in disguise? What if we use the pandemic to create a world in which flying is no longer the norm, but the exception?
