I think of the brown tint images here as fighting forms. More detailed descrption to come. Below is a basic meaning of the title series.

 

Tenkō (転向, literally, changing direction) is a Japanese term referring to the coerced ideological conversions of Japanese socialists and communists who, between 1925 and 1945, were induced to renounce leftist ideologies and enthusiastically embrace the Emperor-centric, capitalist, and imperialist ideology favored by the state. Tenkō was typically performed under duress, most often in police custody, and was a condition for release (although surveillance and harassment would often continue thereafter). But it was also a broader phenomenon, a kind of cultural reorientation in the face of national crisis, that did not always involve direct repression

Frigorífico Anglo del Uruguay

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

 

The Frigorífico Anglo del Uruguay was a meatpacking plant located at Fray Bentos, Uruguay, on the Uruguay River bank.

 

In 1924, the Vestey group purchases the old installations of Liebig Extract of Meat Company and the production goes on under a new name.

 

During its peak period, El Anglo had 5,000 workers whose ranks included English, Belgians, Russians, Spanish and Italians. It finally closed in 1979 after Europe and the United States had cut back their purchases from Latin America. Small brick houses with thick walls running along the river's edge in Fray Bentos form the "Barrio Anglo," a city-within-a-city where meatpacking workers lived that featured a hospital, a school, a social club and a football squad.[1]

empty form I am

state of being

Illusion of reality

 

We are nothing but mere form before our next transition.

 

In Buddhism, it is believed that our body is only a temporary form before we transition into another form. It is merely a physical manifestation of our consciousness, not the essence of who we truly are.

 

One way to understand this concept is through the idea of "non-self." For example, a flower is composed of non-flower elements—water, sunlight, soil, weather, the gardener, the florist, and more. Without these elements, the flower would not exist. Similarly, a person is made up of countless elements outside of the self, including parents, ancestors (both human and non-human), water, sunlight, food, education, and life experiences. The body is in a constant state of change, and our thoughts and emotions are always in flux.

 

To depict this abstract concept, I have used a physical monk's robe draped over a pair of eyes—without a body—to symbolize the impermanence and non-self nature of existence of our form.

  

The resort is all decked out in holiday regalia. A wonderful time for a visit to this beautiful spot in British Columbia, Canada.

El interior

Las columnas de la nave central.

Detalle de la bóveda.

 

Gaudí evolucionó de un primer proyecto gótico hacia un estilo personal, orgánico, inspirado en las formas de la naturaleza: para librarse de los contrafuertes góticos, ideó el uso de columnas en forma de tronco de árbol, que permiten descargar el peso de las cubiertas directamente en el suelo, solución práctica a la vez que estética, ya que convierte el interior de las naves del templo en un espacio orgánico que semeja un bosque. En 1987 se inició la cimentación de las naves; para 1997 se completaron las bóvedas laterales y se empezó la central.

El templo tiene planta de cruz latina, con cinco naves de 90 metros de longitud, y crucero de tres naves de 60 metros; la nave central tiene un ancho de 15 metros, y 7,5 las laterales, haciendo un total de 45 metros; ancho del crucero, 30 metros. La altura es de 45 metros en las bóvedas de la nave central y 30 en las laterales, mientras que las del cimborio central llegarán a los 60 metros. Las naves laterales contendrán las cantorías para los coros. El ábside es lobulado, con deambulatorio entorno del presbiterio. El templo contará con un total de 36 columnas, que oscilarán entre 11,10 y 22,20 metros de altura, con bases de polígonos estrellados de varios lados según su ubicación: 6 (naves laterales), 8 (nave central), 10 (torres de los Evangelistas), 12 (torre de Jesús). Los materiales de construcción varían de la piedra de Montjuïc al granito, basalto o pórfido.

Las bóvedas son hiperbólicas, construidas con baldosas de mosaico veneciano. Gaudí utilizó la técnica de la bóveda catalana o bóveda tabicada, que consistía en la superposición de varias capas de ladrillos con argamasa. Las cubiertas son de forma piramidal, coronadas por una linterna y un farol. Los ventanales están pensados para distribuir una iluminación suave y armónica, creando un efecto de recogimiento, y tienen forma geométrica abstracta; las vidrieras de colores son obra de Joan Vila i Grau. Gaudí realizó profundos estudios acústicos y lumínicos para conseguir una perfecta sonoridad e iluminación en el interior del templo.

 

The church plan is that of a Latin cross with five aisles. The central nave vaults reach 45 meters while the side nave vaults reach 30 meters. The transept has 3 aisles. The columns are on a 7.5 meter grid however the columns of the apse, resting on del Villar's foundation, do not adhere to the grid, requiring a section of columns of the ambulatory to transition to the grid thus creating a horseshoe pattern to the layout of those columns. The crossing rests on the four central columns of porphyry supporting a great hyperboloid surrounded by two rings of 12 hyperboloids (currently under construction). The central vault reaches 60 meters. The apse will be capped by a hyperboloid vault reaching 75 meters. Gaudi intended that a visitor standing at the main entrance be able to see the vaults of the nave, crossing, and apse, thus the graduated increase in vault loftiness.

The columns of the interior are a unique Gaudi design. Besides branching to support their load, their ever-changing surfaces are the result of the intersection of various geometric forms. The simplest example is that of a square base evolving into an octagon as the column rises, then a 16-sided form, and eventually to a circle. This effect is the result of a three-dimensional intersection of helicoidal columns (for example a square cross-section column twisting clockwise and a similar one twisting counter-clockwise).

El castillo de los condes de Andrade, señores feudales de la comarca, es un hito medieval que constituye todo un símbolo de la memoria histórica de Pontedeume. Don Fernán Pérez de Andrade, O Bó, inicia el linaje en 1371 de manos de Enrique de Trastámara, cuando recibe los señoríos de Pontedeume y Ferrol. Nuño Freire de Andrade pasa a la historia por la dureza con que gobernó sus territorios. Durante su mandato se suceden las revueltas campesinas. Muchos otros son los avatares históricos del señorío; por ejemplo, en el siglo XVI, por falta de descendencia masculina, los títulos y derechos pasan, por razones matrimoniales, a la casa de Lemos. No obstante, el señorío es ejercido hasta finales del siglo XIX. Hoy en día pertenece a la casa de Alba. En la simbología de los Andrade aparecen el oso y el jabalí, de clara inspiración celta. Por sus reducidas dimensiones, el castillo apenas cumplió su original función residencial. La parte mejor conservada del mismo es la torre del homenaje. El recinto amurallado tiene forma irregular; en él se abre una sola entrada al castillo con doble cierre. Un foso rodea la construcción por dos de sus lados. Una leyenda, exagerada, dice que había un paso subterráneo que comunicaba este castillo con el que hay en la villa de Pontedeume
