Ukraine's 'Black Cloud' artwork to evoke war at Burning Man festival
KYIV - A massive black cloud has stood in Kyiv's historic Sophia Square this week, emitting flashes of lightning and the rumble of thunder in evocation of war, before it travels to the Burning Man art festival in the United States later this year. The "Black Cloud" installation, by Ukrainian artist Oleksiy Say, measures 30 metres (100 feet) long and 15 high, weighs nearly eight tonnes and is made from four kilometres of fabric. The work also includes the sounds of artillery fire, explosions, drones and military vehicles in a chilling evocation of Russia's all-out invasion of Ukraine since February 2022. "Get ready. Evil is just around the corner. It makes sense to face it," Say told Reuters, standing beside his work, in a message to others beyond Ukraine. The 50-year-old, who studied at the Kyiv Art and Industrial Technical School, lives and works in the capital of Ukraine where there has been a surge of "war art" during the conflict. Say's installation will be a Ukrainian contribution to the annual, eight-day independent art festival in the Black Rock Desert in Nevada in August. "Perhaps the next time someone watches news about Ukraine they will register not only the information but also experience an emotion that goes with it. That's how it (the Black Cloud) is intended to work," said Maria Moroz, executive producer of the project. For Kyiv residents, the Black Cloud is a stark symbol. On a recent day, some took photos while others stood quietly, one couple hugging in silence under its shadow. "Had it been somewhere up in the sky, I would have associated it with a cloud, but as it is, it evoked images of explosions and destruction in me," said Natalia, 58, from Kyiv. "I was walking to work when I saw this installation. It made me think of something evil. It reminded me of the war," said Tetiana, 54. "Constant air raid alerts, missiles, ... drones, this is what it makes me think of." REUTERS Join ST's Telegram channel and get the latest breaking news delivered to you.

Not all heroes wear capes: Elephant goes viral for saving drowning gazelle at Guatemala zoo
An elephant is seen pulling a gazelle out of a pond inside a Guatemala zoo. PHOTO: SCREENGRAB FROM VIRALHOG/YOUTUBE Not all heroes wear capes: Elephant goes viral for saving drowning gazelle at Guatemala zoo Not all heroes wear capes. Sometimes, they have really big ears and long snouts. An elephant was recently filmed saving a gazelle that appeared to be drowning in a pond inside an enclosure at a zoo in Guatemala. The clip, which first appeared online on June 9, has gone viral, with over 1.5 million likes on TikTok and over 8 million views on one Facebook account. It shows an adult elephant trying to fish a young gazelle out of a pond. It is not clear how the gazelle found itself in this predicament. But it could be seen struggling to keep its head out of the water while trying to climb out of the pond surrounded by a high concrete mound. Using its long and flexible trunk, the elephant is seen grabbing the gazelle's horn and trying to winch it out of the water. Even though it loses its grip on its first attempt, it does not give up. Going in for a second try, it manages to get a firmer grip of the gazelle's horn and, with a mighty tug, pulls it out of the water. Some of the other gazelles look on, but seem unimpressed by their neighbour's heroics. Visitors to the zoo watching it from afar, however, can be heard cheering in the video. The elephant is then seen walking towards the rescued gazelle, seemingly to check on its condition. While it may have been just another day for the elephant, videos of its heroic act have made it the internet's star of the moment. Some netizens have also made inevitable comparisons to bipedal bad behaviour. 'Better than some humans,' said Ms Judy Tyler, on the Furry Tails Facebook page. 'Meanwhile, humans killing each other,' Mr Hadjer Bouzid chimed in on the same thread. Others were in awe of the elephant's sense of empathy and intelligence. 'This just shows how intelligent elephants are, what a hero,' said Ms Johan Kievit, also on the Furry Tails Facebook page. Ms Emily Brown added: 'I love how the elephant knows to pick him up by the horns.' 'And the elephant goes over to check, 'You doing okay, bud?',' Mr Eduek Moses added. Some animals have been known to naturally exhibit heroic traits. In June 2024, a dog ran nearly 7km to get help after his owner's truck plummeted into a ravine. Another dog saved a whole family by barking loudly to wake them up when the houseboat they were in caught fire. Join ST's Telegram channel and get the latest breaking news delivered to you.

PHOTOS: LOVERUBY_OFFICIAL/INSTAGRAM SINGAPORE - Despite her celebrity status, Taiwanese actress Ruby Lin has shown she is not shy to strike the classic Merlion pose that is so beloved by tourists when she is in town. In her June 7 Instagram post, the 49-year-old star and her close friend, Singapore-based Taiwanese actress Vivian Hsu, are seen taking a stroll near Marina Bay Sands. Wearing a white top and denim bottoms, Lin tilts her head backwards and angles herself so that it looks like the stream of water spouting from the iconic sculpture is going into her open mouth. Other photos capture the pair posing on a bench outside the ArtScience Museum, with Hsu, 50, wrapping her arms around Lin. In her caption, Lin joked that it was only under her 'tour guide, companion-cum-photographer and dear sister' Hsu's recommendation that she took such 'tourist photos', adding that as long as she is not embarrassed, the embarrassment will only be felt by others. Hsu, who divorced Singapore-based businessman Sean Lee in 2023, has a nine-year-old son. She revealed in November 2024 that she was diagnosed with thyroid cancer at the beginning of that year, and had undergone surgery to treat the condition.
