IT'S GLASS.

This is "Arras", by Mark Lewanski, and the medium is G L A S S.

Just incredible.

If you like this you should check out El Anatsui's work! He creates pieces about consumerism and colonialism inspired by West African textiles and all made of metal (usually bottle caps or other recycled material)!

Man's Cloth (2002)

Earth's Skin (2007)

His work is absolutely amazing!

you should get a second evening for reading fan fiction. And you should get an extra day in the week to do arts and crafts.

we used to make rage comics about how spoons will spray you with water if you wash them at the wrong angle. not anymore. now we just suffer and suffer and suffer and suffer and suffer and suffer and suffer and suffer and suffer and suffer and suffer and suffer and suffer

this morning NASA abandoned their mars rover Opportunity (aka Oppy) because it (she) got hit by a storm on Mars and it knocked her camera and wheels out and her last words to the team were “my battery is low and it is getting cold”. I know she’s a machine but I’m devastated. Oppy is the one who discovered water on Mars. RIP oppy ily space baby

they didn’t abandon her!! they tried eight months to reach her!!!! as their last farewell to her yesterday they played her “I’ll be seeing you” by Billie Holiday:

“I’ll find you in the morning sun

And when the night is new

I’ll be looking at the moon

But I’ll be seeing you”

They love her so much and they tried so hard!!!

Oh man, It doesn’t end there.

This isn’t the first song NASA sent Opportunity. They had a playlist:

It’s on Spotify, it’s called “Opportunity, wake up!“

This is what’s great about NASA and it’s what’s great about people. These are world-class engineers. When they sent a rover to another planet they could have easily looked at it as just another scientific tool. But people don’t do that. We can and will get emotionally attached to the most inanimate of objects. We can and will anthropomorphize anything. And frankly Opportunity’s camera mast looks like a little face with eyes and everything, so why not?

So they started calling it her.

They nicknamed her Oppy.

They told her to take a selfie not long ago.

After 15 years of Oppy flipping the double bird to her original 90 day life expectancy, when a planet-spanning dust storm finally knocked her out and she stopped responding to the engineer’s wake-up messages, they started playing music for her.

And after 8 months and almost 1000 unanswered wake-up messages, when it was finally clear that Oppy was never going to wake up, the last thing these world-class NASA engineers did for their little rover on another planet

Was play her a love song
