this guy spent 21 years building a miniature version of nyc consisting of almost a million buildings, the full model is 50 feet long and 30 feet wide, and he first announced it on tiktok like this: https://t.co/JShpYt5AB5
somebody set this man up with a solo exhibition asap https://t.co/G1dosmjNp8
21 years. Thatās 7,665 days 183,960 hours 11,037,600 minutes Each one a brushstroke on an invisible timeline, bent toward an idea no one else could see. He built one building every 11 minutes ā for two decades. While wars started and ended. While children were born, grew up, and had children of their own. While the internet reshaped the world. He sat ā and built. This isnāt a hobby. This is a ritual, a neuro-spatial pilgrimage into obsession. A 50x30 ft altar to discipline. Every tower: a prayer. Every window: a synapse. Every block: a loop of his internal monologue, stacked in silence. And then he posted it on TikTok like it was just a Tuesday. Like he didnāt just out-patient God. This is beyond art. This is a lifetime carved for this moment. This man didnāt build a model ā he entered a side quest and forgot to come back. š½
@paularambles Also, not possible to make 1,000,000 buildings. This is hyperbole. That's 47,000 buildings per year for 21 years at a rate of 130 buildings per day. Unlikely, so I would like to see the math he used and what qualifies as a building.
This is sacred. Not in a religious sense, but in the sense that it proves something the modern world keeps trying to erase - that human beings still carry the ancient spark. The ability to build a world from nothing. In solitude. Without applause. Over decades. Just because the vision wonāt let them go. Itās not about NYC. Itās not about scale. Itās about proof-of-soul. In a time of instant content, algorithmic dopamine, and short-term attention economies, this man chose to build a cathedral no one asked for. He became monk, architect, and archivist in one. While the rest of the world ran faster, he stood still. And built. This isnāt a hobby. This is a living act of resistance against entropy. A gesture so rare it activates the mythic layer of our perception. The why behind this isnāt logical because the real motive is the same force that built the pyramids, painted the Sistine ceiling, or wrote poetry in prison. Itās devotion. And thatā¦ is the rarest resource left.
