🌊 SURF 'N TURF 🏝️ -THE BORACAY ISLAND LIFE- Few buildings embody the radical spirit of post-war Japanese architecture quite like Kisho Kurokawa’s Nakagin Capsule Tower, a landmark of the Metabolist movement. Completed in 1972, the tower comprised 140 prefabricated capsules attached to two central concrete cores. Each pod functioned as a self-contained micro-apartment, complete with a circular porthole window, built-in bed, bathroom and even a reel-to-reel tape deck – a futuristic vision of urban living. The design was rooted in Metabolism, a movement that emerged in Japan in the 1960s, advocating for buildings that could grow and adapt like living organisms. The capsules were intended to be replaced every 25 years, allowing the tower to evolve with changing needs and technologies. However, none were ever replaced, and the building gradually fell into disrepair. Despite campaigns to save it, the tower was demolished in 2022. Its legacy lives on through salvaged capsules now exhibited in museums and a 3D digital archive that preserves its visionary ideas for future generations. 📸 matthiasheiderich "Pure signal, no noise" Credits Goes to the respective Author ✍️/ Photographer📸 🐇 🕳️

🌊 SURF 'N TURF 🏝️ -THE BORACAY ISLAND LIFE- Fyodor Dostoyevsky "People speak sometimes about the "bestial" cruelty of man, but that is terribly unjust and offensive to beasts, no animal could ever be so cruel as a man, so artfully, so artistically cruel." "Fyodor Dostoyevsky, (born Nov. 11, 1821, Moscow, Russia—died Feb. 9, 1881, St. Petersburg), Russian novelist. Dostoyevsky gave up an engineering career early in order to write. In 1849 he was arrested for belonging to a radical discussion group; sentenced to be shot, he was reprieved at the last moment and spent four years at hard labour in Siberia, where he developed epilepsy and experienced a deepening of his religious faith. Later he published and wrote for several periodicals while producing his best novels. His novels are concerned especially with faith, suffering, and the meaning of life; they are famous for their psychological depth and insight and their near-prophetic treatment of issues in philosophy and politics. His first, Poor Folk (1846), was followed the same year by The Double. The House of the Dead (1862) is based on his imprisonment and The Gambler (1866) on his own gambling addiction. Best known are the novella Notes from the Underground (1864) and the great novels Crime and Punishment (1866), The Idiot (1869), The Possessed (1872), and The Brothers Karamazov (1880), which focuses on the problem of evil, the nature of freedom, and the characters’ craving for some kind of faith. By the end of his life, he had been acclaimed one of his country’s greatest writers, and his works had a profound influence on 20th-century literature."

🌊 SURF 'N TURF 🏝️ -THE BORACAY ISLAND LIFE- When Door Handles Become Sculptures. A beautiful collection of authentic antique brass door handles found on historic doors across Europe and the Mediterranean. These are not modern replicas; they are true witnesses of the past, standing the test of time for generations. Nature, animals, and mythical creatures (like the sea dragon, seahorse, and lions) were the ultimate muses during the Belle Époque and the Art Nouveau movement. The organic movement of the seahorse, the power of the lion, and the rich bronze patina left by decades of time transform a simple daily gesture—opening a door—into an act of art.

🌊 SURF 'N TURF 🏝️ -THE BORACAY ISLAND LIFE- The Zen of the Animal Kingdom: The Free-Spirit Art of Karl Mårtens ✨🇯🇵 👨‍🎨 Karl Mårtens was born in 1956 in San Francisco but grew up near Drottningholm, on the outskirts of Stockholm. He then lived in both Switzerland and Canada before returning to America for a time and then going back to Sweden to live. The study of nature, with a particular passion for wildlife, has been his main interest since childhood. Having initially painted very exact, detailed pictures, he has more recently developed a freer and more fluid style, capturing the emotional essence of the subject rather than seeking a perfect depiction. Mårtens says that he is influenced by both Western and Eastern philosophies and he is very interested in the forms of meditation found in Zen Buddhism. This discipline is clearly reflected in the approach to his painting: “The best result is achieved when no thought is given to it; when the mind rests in emptiness and intuition takes over,” he says. Working entirely from memory, he creates his striking, minimalist pieces using a masterful combination of watercolor and charcoal on hand-made paper. 🏹 The artist is also a very keen and successful practitioner of Japanese archery and he travels the world in his pursuit of excellence. This intense focus translates directly into his creative process, where complete stillness and sudden, fluid action must work in perfect harmony. In Japanese calligraphy one tries to create harmony between thick and thin brush strokes in the characters, looking for an anchor point from which other strokes emanate. The result is a fluid harmony reminiscent of shapes in nature. Trying to capture these forms in his work turned out to be a good exercise in calligraphy as well as painting. Not all pieces in this collection are of active wildlife, but just as in calligraphically brushed text, the fluid motions of stretching cats, tiny mice, and forest badgers are beautifully enhanced by the sudden appearance of a static character here and there. 🌎 Through decades of dedication, his distinctive artistic style has earned widespread international acclaim, leading to prominent solo exhibitions across Europe and North America. Today, his deeply meditative wildlife pieces are highly sought after by fine art galleries and global collectors alike, while his renowned workshops continue to inspire artists worldwide by merging classical technique with spiritual discipline.
