notre dame is burning.

this is ok.

it has happened before. it will happen again. it has been lost before. it will be lost again. and again. and again. and again. art and architecture are transient, and temporary, and 850 years may seem like a lot to the individual, who will live maybe 100 if they are very lucky and very healthy, but even the pyramids at saqqara have only existed for about 6000 years and that’s still not all that much, if you consider the grand scheme of things.

yes, this is terrible. as someone who is deeply religious and literally a professional historian with a focus on art and architecture, this is terrible. im mourning. im gutted. im horrified and upset and miserable. but.

it’s not over.

victor hugo wrote hunchback because notre dame du paris was in the process of collapsing and falling apart, and revitalized the entire world’s focus and love for this church, and that was not even 200 years ago. it led to it being renovated.

the roof has fallen in. the scars of fires are on its buttresses. the rose window has fallen out. the beams and piers have collapsed. the spire has toppled. the stones have suffered, and will suffer again, but it is not gone.

renovation work is essential. sometimes things collapse and burn and break and have to come back. it’s not a terrorist attack, it’s renovation, an accident, but we have so much evidence, history, carefully documented everything on one of the most studied places in the world.

it’s not the end.

im back !! i took a brief break to get caught up in my classes, & ive finally managed to do it! now all that's left is my final project for my illustration class that i the remaining class time to do, then onto my final quarter :)

[samothrce-blog]

this class is so incredibly discouraging i dont even know how to handle it. we have two assignments currently, one is a still life illustration & the other is a personal design project where we make our own business cards. im super into the design one, & i came into class this morning excited & motivated to work, just for him to shoot me down 5 minutes into the class because im not ‘doing anything productive’. ive been working my ass off on this project for about 5 hours now & every so often he mentions how unproductive we are while maintaining DIRECT EYE CONTACT with me. ive been trying so hard in this class but nothing is ever good enough for him,,,
