Gahdamn.
There still exists on 8mm film, footage of me at toddler-age vainly trying to fill a few oceans back-in one sand shovel at a time, and I think even Lake Michigan, because fuck sharks and water I can't see all the monsters in.
That is exactly what these shots look like of bulldozers trying push back the planet's hunger, one scoop-hill at a time, just hoping it's enough to let those first structures suck-up the brunt of the waves as long as they can.
I get it, you gotta try.
But, damn.
