Yesterday I went to listen to a high-level health sector discussion in connection to the parliamentary election coming up soon.
The stimulating event took place at Musiikkitalo, Helsinki. Especially, the presentation about the FinnGen project by Professor Aarno Palotie was interesting. The long-term isolation of the Finnish population is a unique basis for genetic research.
But as I’m not the right person to write about life science, I will concentrate on something quite different: namely objects and their shadows.
After leaving the occasion, a multifaceted sculpture hanging from the entrance hall ceiling caught my eye. This wonderful piece of art, “Gaia” by Kirsi Kaulanen activates the viewers.
For me, “Gaia” presents a complex object – or a bunch of objects – that can be interpreted and experienced very differently, depending on the viewing angle. Isn’t it wonderful!
In the same way, as in life, our perception of reality depends on our angle of view and particular circumstances. And the interpretation of the objects – as also material facts in life – become even more interesting when we think about the reflections or shadows that they cast around. Sometimes it means creating light, possibilities, and inspiration. Sometimes just shadows that deprive our energy and initiative.
But look at this “Gaia,” and feel the powerful combination of stainless steel and nature!
