Photographs of Sega Bodega with his "girlfriend made of light" [2021], by Aidan Zamiri

For Sega Bodega’s concept album "Romeo:, photographer Aidan Zamiri created a haunting visual series featuring “Luci” — a glowing, ethereal figure described as a “girlfriend made of light.”

Named after Lucifer (“bringer of light”), Luci embodies love and absence through long exposure, theatrical lighting, and minimal edits, blurring the line between ghost and memory.

USE WHAT YOU HAVE NAIL POLISH BINGO for someone with no social media following but a fuck ton of nail polishes.

For round 1, I chose to use one of my oldest polishes, this Julep holiday polish Z gave me for Christmas an indiscernible amount of years ago (10-15 is my guess?). Anyways it probably isn't the OLDEST polish I have, technically, but it is the prettiest old polish I have and I hadn't used it in years so I wanted to make sure it still held up. When I tell you this shit gave me a HEADACHE!!!! I paint my nails at least a couple of times a month, often long full manis and pedis, and I don't really ever get bothered by any fumes, but phew this was different. I honestly had to lay down whenever I was done with it. THAT ALL TO BE SAID............... It still looks so so so pretty. It is the sparkliest silver with the tiniest whisper of gold. I've had it on for a few days now and there's been no chipping or normal wear/tear for an anxious person with an oral fixation. That's impressive!!!

Anyways, 7.5/10 in total. I love how it looks but the headache I get from using it........ Is something to be avoided. I'll definitely hold onto it because of the memories and the quality, but it may be one I just try to dupe in the future.

In 1982, conceptual artist Agnes Denes planted and harvested a two-acre field of wheat on a rubble-strewn landfill in Lower Manhattan, located just a few blocks from Wall Street and the World Trade Center, for her incredible project Wheatfield – A Confrontation.

The work was commissioned by the Public Art Fund and took four months to complete. Denes and her team meticulously prepared the infertile landfill, bringing in soil, digging 285 furrows by hand, and planting the seeds. For months, they tended to the field, maintaining an irrigation system, weeding, and fertilizing. The effort culminated in a successful harvest, yielding over 1,000 pounds of golden wheat.

Daily Rothko Bonus: 

Ugo Mulas Home of Kenneth Noland, works by Mark Rothko, Vermont 1964

The more concise version of Oscar Wilde’s valediction, “Either this wallpaper paper goes or I will.” was apparently not reported until 1976 by Irving Mansfield (widower of author Jacqueline Susann) who had stayed the room where Wilde died in Paris, but it’s the version I always think of when I see this photograph. The painting itself is fascinating to me as I have never seen it outside of this picture. It becomes difficult to separate the painting from the general mise en scène after seeing it only in this context for so many years. In addition the fact that it is the home of painter Kenneth Noland, in Vermont, and in rather odd colors for Rothko, makes it one of the wilder (please I wouldn’t do that ) art photographs I’ve ever seen. An almost David Lynch arrangement. When I first saw this picture I thought it was the ugliest Rothko I had ever seen. Now I love it.
