The University of Barcelona's Medicine Faculty has temporarily installed a giant heart made by the Catalan artist Jaume Plensa, with the building's columns acting as the ribcage.
The objective of this work of art is to raise awareness about cardiovascular illnesses, which are the leading cause of death worldwide.
The work is titled El cor secret (The Secret Heart). The heart measures 13 metres tall and 10 metres wide, and weighs 150 kg. It's made of synthetic materials and painted by hand. It had previously been shown in Germany in 2014 and was supposed to arrive to Plensa's home city sooner, but it was delayed because of covid. Instead, in 2020, Plensa donated one of his famous head sculptures to this same building, to thank medicine professionals and students for their work during the pandemic.

i need a schedule but i am wildly incapable of sticking to my own. give me loose deadlines and all hell breaks loose.
4/30 days of productivity
Sometimes productivity is drinking tea while in your work break while being with one of your coworkers and drawing them because they are in the perfect relaxed position. What I'm trying to say is that productivity is not just doing one hundred assignments but also doing one.

I have to make a reproduction of the head in the background for my introduction to volume class, and I just want to say that is harder than I expected it to be, because clay is weird to work with, along with the fact that I've never done this is my life

Okay, so this week has been intense, in the worst sense, and it's only Tuesday. First of all on Sunday I had to stop working because I fucked up my wrist, I'm a butcher, and cutting/hitting the piece of meat wrong can lead to a sprained or broken wrist, lucky it is just sprained, and today I had to go to class because of some important assignments I had to show my teacher and I got a major panic attack, which ended in me in my towns hospital and some medication that made me drowsy, so I didn't go to class but I got some sleep I actually needed.
Probably the rest of the week is going to be better, but right now it has been like a loony toons episode.
I like how the one dude had to sit down twice he was so overwhelmed
“the arts and sciences are completely separate fields that should be pitted against each other” the overlap of the arts and sciences make up our entire perceivable reality they r fucking on the couch
