Coffee Kiss

by Sheril Kirshenbaum

Tsang Cheung Shing is the ceramic artist who created this incredible pottery installation called “Ying Yeung.” The name refers to a Chinese beverage of mixed coffee and tea and also symbolizes the mandarin duck, a metaphor for marriage and love. Just amazing.

The Science of Kissing will be out next January and is already available for pre-order on Amazon.

Submit your photograph or artwork to the Science of Kissing Gallery and remember to include relevant links.
