about this artwork

should we believe in fate, in destiny ? I believe we should !

JUL 19, 12018, early in the morning: by pure coincidence I opened the pation door and was drawn to the tiny water basin embedded in it ... to my surprise I saw something moving in it trapped by water flower branches and unable to get out of it. the ppor thing was about to drown so I hurried to get it out of the water ... to my big surprise it was an adult hedgehog gasping for air ...

I took him inside, dried him as much as I could and kept him in my arms for a couple hours before leaving him on the couch to recover on its own.

after six hours I took him back out into the garden ... the idea for this artwork came from this experience.

good to know

unfortunately I haven't seen that hedgehog anymore ... until one day ... he was picking up branches in our lavender shrubs to get ready for the upcoming winter ... ;-)
