LEARNING TO FLY  but I ain´t got wings

Visit of the Big Bayan Tree parc in the Gaotian village near Guilin. The tree in this parc is apparently about 1400 years old - according to our Chinese friends, you´ll live a 100 years when you walked a loop around it! 

This painting is already pretty old - it was the result of a short summer school about plankton ecology on a northern german island a couple of years ago. How time flies! About a year ago I (reluctantly) set my foot on Swiss grounds to start my masters at ETH in Zürich. Today I am leaving again, for some months at least - but before its time for new beginnings I want to cherish how much joy and warmth this past year has brought me! One of the many great experiences was certainly ArtSci (https://artsci.ethz.ch/), the first ETH art and science exhibition my friends and I organised this spring. Hans Thierstein was until 2009 full professor of Micropaleontology at ETH and has since then embarked on new creative adventures. Feel free to check out more of his work here - https://www.hansthierstein.ch/!  Hans was definitely one of the most involved participants in ArtSci this year, displaying his self-built quatroscope and a series of quatroscopies along with it. Apart from allowing us to display his very interesting artworks, he also actively helped making ArtSci happen whenever our logistics failed - he was just great!! The upper photo was made by him, it is a quatroscopy of my drawing from back at 2016. For me, this is a really nice illustration of how other people help us grow - I am so grateful for all the people that I have met here and elsewhere and for everything they have brought into my life. 

Happy New Year et une très bonne année :) 

Time is running
