Hispanic Heritage Month 2022 runs from September 15 to October 15 and sees a trio by COVL:

• LA COCINA DE MI ABUELA: “Fills up my lungs with the smell of spices, freshly brewed cafe as plátanos fry in the background.”
• ESPIRITU: “Celebrating and paying homage with unapologetic pride and gratitude for those who came before us.”
• CONEXION: “Through the art of connecting, our community is opening up the windows and doors for a vibrant cultura.”

Meanwhile, the October Pixel wallpapers mark World Mental Health Day, which is today, and feature illustrations from Burnt Toast:

• Rest: “A character in hiding taking some much needed time to re-energize and recentre.”
• Listen: “Listening is a key part of communication. Find time to call on your friends and listen in on what they have going on.”
• Self-Love: “If you love your reflection it simply has to love you back. Self-love can do wonders for your mental health.”

Google also released an Arts & Culture Lab experiment in collaboration with Johns Hopkins International Arts + Mind Lab, and Google’s Wellbeing Lab to get a “moment of calm.”

In Rhythm With Nature aims to establish an intimate connection between humans and nature through a series of beautifully crafted breathing exercises timed by the flowers opening and closing. Essentially you are breathing with flowers that open according to your time of the day.
