Art: Robot arm constantly containing the hydraulic fluid that’s constantly leaking out and required to keep itself running has 'died' years later

"The robot arm finally ran out of hydraulic fluid in 2019, slowly came to a halt and died - And I am now tearing up over a friggin robot arm.
😭

It was programmed to live out this fate and no matter what it did or how hard it tried, there was no escaping it.
Spectators watched as it slowly bled out until the day that it ceased to move forever." :eek:

The hydraulic fluid that's constantly leaking out of itself looked like a never ending flow of blood.

It has programmed dance moves to make it appear to have human gestures.
When the project was first launched it danced around spending most of its time interacting with the crowd since it could quickly pull back the small spillage.
But three years later, It now only has enough time to try to keep itself alive as the amount of leaked hydraulic fluid became unmanageable as the spill grew over time.
It now looks rusted and tired.

Interpretation of the art:
The hydraulic fluid in relation to how we kill ourselves both mentally and physically for money just in an attempt to sustain life, how the system is set up for us to fail on purpose to essentially enslave us and to steal the best years of our lives to play the game that the richest people of the world have designed.
How this robs us of our happiness, passion and our inner peace.
How we are slowly drowning with more responsibilities, with more expected of us, less rewarding pay-offs and less free time to enjoy ourselves with as the years go by.

The endless chase for 'more' isn't necessary in finding your own inner happiness.
Spend more time with friends and family... to laugh more... to dance more often...

So per this life is nothing more than the constant battle to keep our precious bodily fluids inside our bodies? That is what I got out of it anyway.

What if instead of dancing around like an idiot the robot did a job that could allow it to buy more fluid or patch the leak? It would seem that the real lesson to be learned here is to do something productive so that you can afford to take care of yourself, dancing for free and vacuuming up your spilled bodily fluids does not appear to give a long lifespan.
