Moving to the right feeling expressed in my colours, there is this feeling of infection, disturbance, and the ability to justify loss.

The tree and the liane
One of the core determinants in diagnosing an ecosystem is the interaction between components.
Understanding the exact interaction—or, in this case, a combination of interactions—is key to proper diagnosis.
This design tells the story of a tree and a liane. Who benefits from whom, when, and why? The tree and liane are real, as measured by Roelof Oldeman (1974a), but they are also metaphors for people or organisations.
I firmly believe in the plausibility of this substitution, primarily due to the universal nature of ecological interactions. These are governed by a set of fundamental patterns, a mere seven, which exist in nature. This universality extends to the public domain, which is intricately intertwined with nature.
It is part of transect by Oldeman (1974a): “La liane perchée sur le Terminalia amazonia à une hauteur d’environ 35 mètres appartient probablement à la famille des Polygonacées“. Curation and colour selection by Jack Kruf.

Common eider
This duck stands out in colour matching. The common eider (Somateria mollissima L.) shows its yellow and green in an original palette and structure. It is a high-speed duck which can fly up to 113 km/h. Beauty and speed are a great combination.
