Windmills North Sea ’25
When we commissioned “wind of change” I thought a lot about the politicalsituation in the world. The outlook is not very positive. For our smallNetherlands, America is a major player on the world stage. Trust is declining onall fronts.Still, I was pleasantly surprised by the news that a few countries
Revolution
How does a revolution come to a standstill? As long as the population walks between the set lines, everything is good. But when there is unrest among the people, it changes. This can have many causes. Disagree with the decisions of the government. If people don’t have financial means to live
Revolutie vs Rotatie
Janine has already told us that Revolution and Rotation have a common origin in Latin. Jacque’s poignant opinion has opened the eyes of all of us, I think, to what is going on in America at the moment. At the time, we didn’t know anything about the terrible meeting

Protect our Waters
Water is our source of life, both for nature and for humans. From the free-flowing rivers, which fish and birds need to survive, to the clean water that comes out of your tap. There is a European Commission that protects our lakes, rivers and marshes. Through these regulations, we must
Galaxy
This time we are concerned with the change of color. A great challenge! As everyone knows, black and white are not colors. All the paint has disappeared from the white and black is so saturated that you can’t recognize other colors. White represents clarity, purity, snow, cold, enlightenment, and faith.
Breathless
A habit is something that you do without thinking. Every human being breathes without thinking. This is a vital and automatic process. But what if you suddenly stop breathing? With sleep apnea, breathing stops repeatedly while sleeping. When you sleep, the muscles relax, including in the throat. Normally, the brain receives a
