Moving, tragic, surprising, inspiring, terrifying, shocking... This is a selection of images from our planet, over the past three days.
An inflatable art entitled 'Companion', created by US artist KAWS displayed near the Grand Palace during the KAWS: Holiday Thailand exhibition at Sanam Luang in Bangkok, Thailand, 13 May 2025. The iconic 18-metre-tall monumental art sculpture Companion is a signature artwork created by the world's renowned American artist KAWS or Brian Donnelly featuring an art sculpture character. Companion sits on the earth and holds a moon while another smaller figure, Companion, rests in its lap. The artwork symbolises the passing of knowledge, values, and care across generations, representing the past, present, and future enduring connection. The KAWS: Holiday Thailand art exhibition will run from 13 to 25 May 2025, which is part of the Amazing Thailand Grand Tourism and Sports Year 2025 campaign. EPA-EFE/RUNGROJ YONGRIT
