Elle est lauréate du prix UNESCO 2018 « Exprime toi : la culture, un agent de la paix ». Elle devient membre de l’atelier des artistes en exil en mai 2022.
Born in 1994 in Donetsk, Ukraine, Sasha Zaitseva grew up in a Russian-Ukrainian family where she “felt cultural dualism as the norm”. It was not until 2014, during the Ukrainian civil war, that she realized she was carrying two separate cultural heritages. With her Kalina venok, braided crowns of flowers, she thinks about the role of cultural signs and objects in the formation of identity. The same year she participated in the Salon d'Automne International in Tel Aviv (Israel). Since then she has exhibited in France and Denmark (Greve Museum, 2021). She is the winner of the 2018 UNESCO Prize “Speak Yourself: Culture, an Agent of Peace”. She became a member of the workshop of artists in exile in May 2022.
A atrium designed by Michael Graves serves as a connection point for several pre-existing buildings. Graves has woven them together in an attractive and creative way.
Working on a budget vinyl floors were used in place of marble, stucco in place of stone but the effect is rich and elegant.

As many of you know I love Castle building, it's so easy to pack in detail with that theme, which is why it's one of my favourite things to do when building. So Castle and Marvel in the one vig? Why not! I've had the Doom figure lying around since I bought the set it came in, so what's that... 2013? Man 5 years now. Anyway yes super glad I finally got to use this figure in a MOC. For me collecting figs is fun, it's nice to have them sure, but it's only worth it when I can put them in a MOC. So I used this MOC as a way to display some other figs that I have yet to come up with concepts for MOC's to put them in. The Sentry figure is from bigkidbrix, if you are wondering ;)
But yeah, love building throne rooms like this, makes me want to do more, it was great fun to combine two of my favourite themes in the one vig like this. Would love to do it again!

" Un et un à présent ça fait deux avant ça ne faisait qu’un " : Charles Ferdinand Ramuz ~ Adam et Eve
Un titre utilisé pour une performance réalisée par Marie-France & Patricia MARTIN
à Anvers en 1999.
“I confront the city with my body; my legs measure the length of the arcade and the width of the square; my gaze unconsciously projects my body onto the facade of the cathedral, where it roams over the mouldings and contours, sensing the size of recesses and projections; my body weight meets the mass of the cathedral door, and my hand grasps the door pull as I enter the dark void behind. I experience myself in the city, and the city exists through my embodied experience. The city and my body supplement and define each other. I dwell in the city and the city dwells in me.”
― Juhani Pallasmaa

Recreation of one my favorite star wars concept arts, a tribute to Ralph McQuarrie's work. A shot I had in mind for a long time.. Purist MOC minifigs. Will be happy for any feedback and comments.
"Deak Starkiller’s confrontation with Darth Vader showcases the sheer size of the villain, who completely dwarfs his opponent. McQuarrie’s interpretation of the villain’s presence even makes the ship surrounding him feel smaller. In later drafts, Starkiller became Skywalker, but this image shows that both characters utilized breathing apparatuses to make transitioning from ship to ship a much easier process. The look of Starkiller was heavily changed, but other than rounding out some sharper angles, this image represented Vader so powerfully that very little modifications were necessary to bring him to life on screen." - starwars.com
#1 Sometimes (no ALWAYS) I find myself in situations were I need to change lenses as I'm a poor artist and don't have 3 bodies to go with my 3 lenses...I need to know how best to safely clean my sensor and the interior (PLUS the glass at the top of my camera, above the view glass, does that affect the image if dirty?)
#2 so, how do we protect our images when confronting the elements...when aging eyesight and a tiny viewscreen doesn't allow one to see the 'specs' that ruin our efforts?
SO, all you wizards, what's the solution?....
my subjects don't sit well as they either blow sand, water or wind on me causing a problem with my equipment and images such as noted in the lighthouses which I took after this series...

Something a little less confronting ..

Every time I go to Vegas, I'm confronted with this scene, and every time I swear to myself that I'm going to capture it, however, I always forget to have my camera ready. This time, as I realized the location was suddenly upon me, I hurriedly and clumsily grabbed for my Fuji and tried to start shooting. The guy in front of me must have wondered what the ruckus was behind him and looked back at the very moment I squeezed off a few frames. So, his look is not of dreaded anticipation, but, really one of curiosity. In all honesty, I didn't notice him looking back until I went to process this image, which, makes the photo much more interesting or course. Anyways, that's my story and I'm sticking to it. :)
Mentre stavamo risalendo il Monte Victoria, per iniziare un trekking, a circa 2000 metri ci siamo fermati nella casa di questo simpatico nonno, che si divertiva a coccolare i nipotini. Non appena ci hanno visti sono sbucati dalla loro capanna per sapere qualcosa di noi e fare due chiacchiere. Persone davvero speciali. Chin State 2016
Elephants are incredible creatures. The largest land mammals on earth, they show a wide range of behavioral and emotional patterns in their up-to-60-year lifespans. They grieve over the bodies of dead herd members, and can even recognize their own reflections in a mirror. And, of course, there's that old saying: "Elephants never forget." While it may be an exaggeration, there's more truth to the adage than you might realize.
In the wild, an elephant’s memory is key to its survival—and its herd’s. Each herd has a matriarchal structure, with one older female in charge. When younger males in the group reach sexual maturity—usually around 14 years of age—they leave the herd to roam solo or occasionally form groups with other males. Proof of elephants' long memories lies in their behavior: When confronted with an unfamiliar elephant, matriarchs will huddle in defensive positions because they realize that those elephants could pose a threat to the herd's safety.
Confronting fear is the destiny of a Jedi...

The Rise of Skywalker is absolute chaos, and the story is just so bad by the end. Amazing performances from Daisy Ridley, Adam Driver, etc. Greatest visuals ILM has ever contributed to Disney-era Star Wars as well, but the film is so rushed and broken. It did need to be longer 😞
It’s honestly heartbreaking because I loved the cast. They found the perfect actors to steer Star Wars into the future with this trilogy, but now there will always be so much wasted potential. So much wasted time.
This exciting mess may be the conclusion to the sequel trilogy, but to me it will never be the conclusion to the main saga. All of this since 2015 has felt like an extension - not a continuation.
Anyway, mini showcase featuring my final(?) custom LEGO Rey & updated Kylo Ren will be coming to the channel soon! Just a little more work to do.

A boy with a stone (in his left hand) confronts the heavily armed Egyptian military police at a barbed wire barricade in central Cairo just south of Tahrir Square. The road is littered with stones thrown by both homeless youths and SCF soldiers, who would also resort to tear gas and (on many other days) bullets.
[For a gallery of hundreds of photographs of Egyptian protests, strikes, wall art and revolt by other photographers please use the following link -

While most protesters in Tahrir Square were committed to peaceful demonstration at any price, and while the government and media denounced stone throwing "hooligans", sentencing those arrested to years in prison (often regardless of whether they had been throwing stones or not), many of the boys and young men (and occasionally young women) involved in such incidents didn't appear to be aiming to injure but rather putting on a symbolic act of defiance against a regime and its security forces which had deprived them and those close to them of any hope or fair chance in life. Many children however lost their lives and many others were abused and tortured once in police custody.
