Slinkachu, an artist who works with street-based installations and photography, definitely gets around. Since the inception of his 'Little People - A Tiny Street Art Project' in 2006, Slinkachu has been traveling the world to capture his minuscule figurines in the most glorious of locales.
One of Slinkachu's latest works is of the Acropolis of Athens in Greece, which posits a major juxtaposition between the overpowering backdrops and the tiny models.
Implications - These precious models are both beautiful and adorable; the famous landmarks are exact replicas, not a single detail has been neglected. The tiny figures in front of the landmark reminds us just how small we are, and how wondrous the wonders of the world are.
