Derrick Lin Turns Everyday Work Frustrations Into Miniature Works Of Art

 

As adults, we're expected to take everyday work frustrations on the chin, without whingeing or complaining. Derrick Lin works in advertising, an industry he describes on BoredPanda as "hectic and unpredictable". Lin, while trying not to let stress get the better of him, has found a unique way of expressing his angst at the annoying little moments in his agency life. He's turned those moments into miniature scenes, using his iPhone camera and miniature figures. The scenes, which are all captioned so we know what's going on, depict his honest thoughts about daily situations that frustrate us at work. Check it out!
