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

Pattern of Lobby
‘Lobby’ means ‘seek to influence (a legislator) on an issue’. The government (blue) is often surrounded by companies (yellow) influencing policy and decision-making on society’s chessboard. This is an art impression.

Intervention
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.

Reflections
The sunlight tells the story of election day (for a new Dutch parliament) through the stained glass window. It seems to be a sign from above. Suddenly and unexpectedly, the pattern appeared on the wall while enjoying my coffee in the company of my son-in-law and one of my grandsons.
Could the fuzzy pattern be a metaphor for the results on this day? I thought. What is it trying to say to me? Which story is written here? Anyway, the scattered colours lead to a range of personal reflections about the state and future of our society and Nature, this on the morning after the (impressive) day before. The pattern has some mysticism in it. And beauty.
