Inspire - Day 2

As a designer, what I’ve found is that I am constantly pressed for time. I rarely clear moments for important things, let alone frivolous things. Without a doubt, every ‘YES’ to one thing, is a ‘NO’ to something else. Nevertheless, we have to examine how stringent we are with our Yes’s. It is a fantastic thing to find and enjoy rest. Yes, it is nice to be productive, but I’m a firm believer that our job should never come at the expense of our joy.

Taking breaks isn’t the answer, not by a long shot. Yet, I hope that through posts like this we can reclaim at least a portion of our time. Life is so short, and there is so much out there that is more enjoyable- and even more meaningful- than a paycheck.

So without further ado, check out these amazing artists. Take a break from the hustle and bustle and feed your inspiration. A well-deserved five minute break does wonders for an overworked and aching mind!

Photography

Jan Stel

Here are some of my favorites from the acclaimed works of Jan Stel. An uncanny glimpse into industrial landscapes takes the viewer into a new world. It is amazing to see how abandonment transforms a scene and produces a new aesthetic altogether. Chilling yet beautiful.
