Blackout (Burnout_Parliament) from Björnik

TOYNEWS SUBMISSION: "The last time I shared anything from this series, the Burnout Parliament was still represented by a single piece, No Hoots Given. The parliament has quietly grown since then. There are now four states in the series, each reflecting a different face of burnout:"

No Hoots Given - detachment, the slow drift into apathy
IDCAF - selective caring, the quiet exhaustion behind restraint
Fowl Mood - thinning patience, where friction replaces tolerance
Blackout - the dimming phase, when everything simply powers down

"Blackout is the newest addition. Not dramatic, not explosive. Just the strange stillness when urgency dissolves and the mind goes dark to survive." shared Otto Björnik.

Some days, burnout doesn’t feel loud.
It doesn’t flare, resist, or demand attention.
Everything just quietly powers down.

This is Blackout.

The phase where the mind dims without warning. Urgency dissolves. Thoughts blur. Even simple things feel oddly distant. Not rest. Not relief. Just the system going dark to survive its own exhaustion. Still upright. Still present. Only the lights are out. Not the end. Just a necessary silence.

Blackout stands 6 inches, with this Acrylic on Resin-make in an edition of 30pcs, each priced US$200 + shipping, available online here (*Ships March 6th).
