‘ Engines ‘ by Maciej Rebisz . From ” Space That Never Was ” exhibition . What I find striking is the sense of unease & dread it seems to bring on , presumably due to the enormous contrast in size , the unmitigated existential frailty of that astronaut and the thought of the ‘on’ switch .
Although it's a fairly recent piece , it's reminiscent of all that NASA concept art from the 60's & 70's . It's certainly a rather grand vision of future space tech .

Absolutely love that, there’s something about megastructures that calms me down.
With engines like that we could finally explore the solar system at least!
I’d love to have that on my wall.
that would kill you so fast you wouldn’t have time to think. also that is definitely a generational colony ship.
I’m sure that there’s a sub for people that love/fear gigantic structures.
