The flow of life is a lesson in itself. Perceiving, analysing and learning from it is wise. It is listening to nature if you go with it. The palette of streams, sediments and resistances is seen from above. An eagle view.

An intervention can be powerful. If the system is mainly yellow-based, then blue can ignite change. Sometimes, it is needed for a better course or outcome to interfere with a condition or a process to prevent harm or improve functioning (Merriam-Webster).
The print is positioned in this office lobby as a permanent reminder that this powerful instrument is and should always be directly available for all the employees of this organisation. It is there to stimulate involvement in good governance. Intervention is considered as key for innovation, and not as a disturbance of the existing. It is an encouragement to participate.
Change can start – in a metaphoric way-, with an intervention, with just one stroke of a brush.

This window in Cádiz breathes karma. I like this colour palette with the carmine red window, black bars, pastel yellow wall, and the greys with the fine line of golden sapphire. Clean, safe and secure in the quietness of siesta time.

This is an artistic impression of the natural rainforest being wiped off the map. The pristine Amazon canopy – and the entire ecosystem with hundreds of millions of individuals (animals, plants, fungi) – gets lost and dies. Biodiversity is brought to zero, with no change of discovery.
Human societies are like hurricanes. They destroy everything in their path.
I know we sit, watch and reflect on this loss from our chairs made from the wood of these forests. We seem to be trapped by ourselves. Or is there a way out?

Being part of the canopy of the forest is relevant for every tree. It is the way to maximise photosynthesis and, therefore, the production of sugars, the basic building materials for the entire ecosystem. It is the place in the forest to be – “Each tree is essential. It is part of The Empire of the Sun” (quote by Professor Roelof Oldeman†, 2021). The food chain starts here.
From a remote-sensing perspective, this art expression tells the story of how the fight for light looks like. Every inch is used. The natural rainforest’s biodiversity can be sensed from this eagle’s view, an art impression.
