The appearance of nature changes constantly

Animals, plants and microbes are wheels within wheels, the gears of a vast, complicated but nonetheless beautiful ecological engine of planetary size.
Variety and variability of living organisms signify the stability and healthiness of any eco-system. If the reciprocity and flow of change within in this system is being disturbed, even destroyed, only very few animal- and plant life forms may survive and keep evolving.

Mounted eye level on the wall are four hanging cabinets, each carrying 6 tableaus showing different species of plants (55x40 cm, oil on canvas), arranged according to the colour of their blossoms: blue, red, white and yellow. The cabinets are divided into 6 compartments, each 6 centimetres in width. Every compartment contains one tableau which the beholder may slide out in order to look at them.
