These Potholes Are Getting A Sweet Makeover

Intrigued by the ability of mosaics to last throughout the years, Bachor beautifies what is typically considered an ugly nuisance of the streets. Dangerous holes are given a bright, colorful makeover that bring smiles to the faces of passerbys on the streets of Chicago and Jyväskylä, Finland.
