In the deep black forest, this mushroom (Coprinus comatus, shaggy ink cap, geschubde inktzwam) shows its fortitude in a pristine and unique colour palette. It is one of the icons of the immense trade system underground between trees and fungi, where sugars and minerals are negotiated and exchanged. This mushroom is a metaphor for exchange as at the market index.

Can you imagine a home? And have it at your home? The once pristine Ant-Arctic, I tried to. Home as a public value. Home as a stable, resilient and flourishing ecosystem. Framed. You know, to maintain it would be great. It would be respectful. At least.

It is time for reflection when autumn comes. The pattern of the decaying aspen leaf, tells us a lot about life and the functioning of its network. The leaf, with its unique photosynthesis, is an elementary link in the empire of the sun. From here, the ecosystems enrol.

This wall landscape in Faaborg (Denmark) shows the true character of plaster. It can be felt as a metaphor for the superficial layering every few years when politics colours the wall of our society. The wall is not being affected, not really.
Some ideas within political organisations are well-designed, some not at all. In pre-election-time, it is the land of plans and promises. They are mostly lost in translation when mixed up into governing coalitions. The plaster is produced when power comes to town. Coming from political ideas to good governance is not that easy! This wall says it all.

Finding the correct key is vital to opening the door in real life and, metaphorically speaking, in a wide range of problem-solving.
