"Taking a Break"

02mer

The attractive proportions and surface design of this machine shop caught my attention.
But after finishing the painting of the structure, the piece felt incomplete. It begged for living figures,
so I went inside and coaxed a couple of reluctant workers to come out, take a little break,
and pose for me. Despite their complaints, they expressed pride in their "modeling careers."
