"Recline at the End of the World"
MelOrchid
She's comfortable. That's what disturbs people.
The world is falling in blocks the size of buildings, the surface she lies on exists only in present tense, and she has arranged her legs like she's posing for a portrait. I made this piece about the performance we maintain even when no one could reasonably expect it—the muscle memory of being seen, the habit of composure that outlasts its context.
There's a particular feminine training I'm interrogating here: the body that automatically arranges itself for observation, that cannot not consider its angles even as the architecture collapses. Is this critique or celebration? I don't know. Both. She's absurd and she's dignified. She's performing for no one and everyone. She's found the one red line still holding and made it her stage.
The massive blocks falling around her are everything that was supposed to be permanent—institutions, assumptions, the built environment of certainty. They fall. She reclines. The posture survives what the structures cannot.
I paint the strange grace of bodies that forgot how to stop being watched.
I took this photo as I was leaving the stadium and shot this to include the lions head and the busy street below. The metal decoration really helps to know where this picture was taken, gives a sense of awareness. In Lightroom I decided to bring out a lot of texture because I personally liked the rust on the metal, it tells the viewer that the stadium has been around for a while and has history.

Was out for a walk today and saw the wall of statements posters were up already. Officially opens on Tuesday. You'd defiantly need to go and have a look at them in person.
iPhone 3GS. I captured this in my fav bookstore the other day....and it reminded me how the internet has somehow killed my passion for reading...
This picture is called "Harvard doesn't equal Success and Happiness". It is important to be dedicated to one's goals and important to take every step necessary to meet them. But in doing so, one should never forget that at the end of the day what matters is how happy one is.
As a student, I relate to the struggles of getting into college and relate to how us students equate college with the success we will inherit. What we don't realize is that after we have spent our better days we will never look back at the grades we earned but the times we spent.
In this picture, the smile is made out of coins to symbolize success and happiness. One of the books on the left reads "All the light we cannot see" which displays the notion of equating college with happiness and success. Even though it is true to some extent, it is not all there is to it and hence there are somethings that the "light" cannot see.

Dr. Jatinder Baidwan, chief coroner, has released the following statement regarding the decision to direct an inquest into the events that occurred in Tumbler Ridge on Feb. 10, 2026:
“On the afternoon of Feb. 10, 2026, an entire community was forever changed and multiple families who call Tumbler Ridge home received the catastrophic news that their loved ones had lost their lives.
“The news that an individual had killed two adults and six children in a private residence and a local secondary school quickly spread across national and international media. With that, came passionate public discussions about mental health and possible gaps in support systems.
“It is with this in mind that I have reflected on the BC Coroners Service’s responsibility to reinforce confidence in the system and support public safety in British Columbia when it comes to all sudden, unnatural and unexpected deaths, and all children’s deaths.
“That is why, pursuant to Section 18 of the Coroners Act, I am directing a coroner’s inquest to publicly review the circumstances that led to nine individuals losing their lives in Tumbler Ridge on Feb. 10.
“An inquest will provide an independent and transparent forum to publicly examine the circumstances surrounding the deaths, assess systemic and procedural issues, and make evidence-based recommendations aimed at preventing similar incidents in the future. Importantly, it will involve the participation of the people in British Columbia through a jury of five to seven people.
“My sincere and heartfelt condolences go out to the families who have lost their loved ones. The grief they are experiencing at this time is unimaginable. The BC Coroners Service will continue to work with the families and the community of Tumbler Ridge to make sure their needs are met and their questions answered.
“An announcement with more details about the timing of the inquest will be provided once our investigative phase is concluded.”

Architect's statement from July 2014:
"The Serpentine Pavilion 2014 continues a history of small romantic constructions seen in parks or large gardens, the so-called follies that were popular from the late sixteenth century to the beginning of the nineteenth century.
In general, follies appear as ruins or have been worn away by time, displaying an extravagant, surprising and often archaic form. These characteristics artificially dissolve the temporal and physical limits of the constructions into their natural surroundings. The 2014 Pavilion takes these principles and applies them using a contemporary architectural language..
The unusual shape and sensual qualities of the Pavilion have a strong physical impact on the visitor, especially juxtaposed with the classical architecture of the Serpentine Gallery. From the outside, visitors see a fragile shell in the shape of a hoop suspended on large quarry stones. Appearing as if they had always been part of the landscape, these stones are used as supports, giving the pavilion both a physical weight and an outer structure characterised by lightness and fragility. The shell, which is white, translucent and made of fibreglass, contains an interior that is organised around an empty patio at ground level, creating the sensation that the entire volume is floating. The simultaneously enclosed and open volumes of the structure explore the relationship between the surrounding Kensington Gardens and the interior of the Pavilion. The floor is grey wooden decking, as if the interior were a terrace rather than a protected interior space.
At night, the semi-transparency of the shell, together with a soft amber-tinted light, draws the attention of passers-by like lamps attracting moths."

This image was captured in-studio. I designed and drew the pattern on the face myself, taking inspiration from different patterns I've seen. The gold statement necklace sets off the black on the face and contrasts against the flawless skin with its textured appearance.
