You see it all around you all the time. What is it? Why is it here? What happened? Humans ponder over a myriad of questions, constantly evaluating, intrigued by the puzzling nature of life. I believe animals share this curiosity too. Can you imagine a bird coming across a pacifier on a tree post, tilting its head, wondering about its origin or its purpose? These daily enigmas blend into the tapestry of existence, shaping our narratives with unsolved...]]></description><link>https://www.jette.gallery/post/impossible-puzzle</link><guid isPermaLink="false">6a7c31ae3637842029cfd685</guid><category><![CDATA[Insights]]></category><pubDate>Wed, 12 Aug 2026 08:47:54 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/8f3770_f0d9891989c346dcb8f87b393b43bc66~mv2.jpg/v1/fit/w_1000,h_1000,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>jette</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Angel of Death]]></title><description><![CDATA[I stood in the Chiesa di Santa Maria delle Grazie, my eyes transfixed by “The Angel of Death” frieze. This overwhelming artwork struck a chord deep within me, echoing the cries of countless souls lost to wars still raging across the world. Visions of battles waged not just for survival but for greed and power flooded my mind, and I couldn't help but reflect on who holds the right to decide between life and death.

On July 22nd, a bomb exploded in the government quarter of Oslo, killing eight people. Later that day, on the island of Utøya, sixty-nine young people lost their lives in a brutal attack. Like many others, I struggled to understand how such darkness could exist in a peaceful country. As an artist, I turned to painting to process my grief. My first work was deeply traumatic to create.

There are roses and flowers everywhere. "They don't have more than a few days left. The flowers. Now they have to be collected by hand, composted and turned into soil," he says. And the soil must be used. To sow new life. His words resonate with me, as a reminder that in the wake of tragedy, something beautiful can still grow.
