"Living in dreams of yesterday, we find ourselves still dreaming of impossible future conquests." - Charles Lindbergh

Another Monday down; I think the most depressing part about Mondays right now is that every week my boss walks in and announces just how many he has left; 11 more for him as of today. Retirement is quickly approaching and he's already half out the door. Not that I blame him, 36 service is a long time and I'm sure he's ready to spend sometime outside of an office.
Otherwise, a fairly usual day at the office. I managed to work a Pinocchio reference in while trying to explain some computer quirks to a coworker so I was pretty pleased about that.
Hope everyone has had a decent start to the week.

They never knocked. Never spoke. Just stood there—always in the same suits, always facing the same direction, like a memory frozen in the act of forgetting you. You pulled back the curtain, held your breath, and watched. They did not move.
You’re not sure when they arrived. Only that they never left.
Artist Process:
This piece uses sharp contrast and framing to build tension—placing the viewer in the role of the observer, half-hidden behind a caravan window. The color palette leans toward muted autumnal tones, emphasizing the leaf-littered ground and bare trees as symbols of decay and stasis. The repetition of identical suited figures evokes a surreal, uncanny sensation, inspired by dream logic and surveillance culture. The stillness is deliberate—this moment feels like it could last forever, or snap in an instant.
