“Shadow and light are the most stable and perfect tools of creation: they unite colors, shapes, and dimensions,” says Moldovan artist Sergiu Ciochină, adding that “shadows move us through diversity, enhancing our perception, while light fills us with the joy of discovery.” In saturated hues, he captures dappled sunlight as it filters through the trees and the rich tones of the golden hour as it casts deep bluish-purple shade onto the sides of houses.

Taking cues from the Impressionists, Ciochină focuses on the nuances of light and its ability to reveal outlines and forms. He works in thick, impasto oil paint on board, emphasizing the shapes of windows, doors, and stoops and transforming otherwise ordinary buildings into compositions glowing with the patterns of foliage, architectural angles, and the texture of brushstrokes. “The symbiosis I create between nature and architecture is intended to evoke a love for space,” he says.

"i let my friends/partner go through my phone" people baffle me like i don't even have anything worth hiding on mine and id still turn it into shrapnel before i let anyone browse through it. id prefer it be a fine metallic mist than let anyone see the recipe tabs i have open. it's my right and my right alone to know what strange games i downloaded from janky yet intriguing ads

This documentary is up there with the Making of The Long Night featurette from Game of Thrones in the "why the fuck would you release this labour violation lawsuit evidence file as a documentary?" list.

The mismanagement and disrespect of the crews is so evident in both and yet the people in charge released them as a way to show themselves as amazing and triumphant in the face of adversity, seemingly oblivious to the fact that they are in fact the very adversity that needs to be triumphed against by their overworked, underpaid employees.

Also I shouldn't have to say there's research about this, but there's research about this (mostly in the healthcare field but I'd be shocked if it wasn't generalizable). A very strong indicator of burnout is how futile someone feels their work is. Humans do not react well at all to doing work which doesn't feel like it has a purpose.

There's a reason this poor animator is so desperately trying to convince herself it will work out. Because I'll bet the moment she couldn't anymore, burnout would be on the horizon. Making people do futile work, or mismanaging them to the point where they perceive the work as futile, should be a labor rights problem all on its own.

the les miz movie documentary is exactly like this. watching the orchestra try to record accompaniment for singers who, rather than singing to a click track (basically a metronome) or backing track to follow, had the accompanist follow play to them, so the orchestra has to follow people singing very beat, is GENUINELY TRAGIC
