    I would consider this a depiction of people going berry picking. Again, I have to ask, have you ever set a foot on a farm in your life?

      you never asked if i have set foot on a farm in my life before but no i have not

      so you do not consider harvesting produce to be labour?

        I don’t consider what that picture depicts to be anything resembling labour. It’s just people strolling on a nature walk picking berries or whatever they’re doing there.

          that is not a question?

          anyway the image depicts farmers according to its blurb "the crops and farmers work together behind a solar-walled city.”, it is a flawed depiction yes but that is why they are all in the same uniform and have backpack sized baskets to gather the fruit they are walking toward in the art

                  so your problem is just that the particular picture is bad at depicting labour, and not the solar-punk aesthetic?

                  what about this art of solar-punk farm labour?

                    Again, we see farmland that’s completely devoid of people here. I find it incredible how people latched onto aesthetic from a diary commercial in favor of actual labour aesthetic. Let’s compare this with some art that actually celebrates farming and labour:
