| Gosh, where is my camera? Was not expecting to see such a big whale right in front of our boat. Blue whale and landscape from camphor wood and a small corner of Pulai wood. The blue whale is assembled from 2 pieces and the fluke is enlarged. Give whales a decent living space. The real green is more bluish. |

1st arm: Hansel and Gretel stand looking around curiously. They don’t recognize their surroundings. There’s a fence around the forest because an investment company is planning on creating a golf club and leisure center here. And a nearby industrial area on the outskirts of town is already beginning to take its toll on the forest. The pollution produced by these industrial plants has already damaged the trees’ roots; many will not survive. This gives the investors a good excuse to cut them all down. Greedy poachers set traps for the few remaining forest animals and some die an agonizing death. The foxes worry about their coats of fur, will they soon be made into fashionable coats for humans? A badger hardly dares to leave his den, asking himself whether it might not perhaps be better to be a mole. The trees view everything that approaches their habitat with suspicion, nearly everything could turn out to be a threat. Nearly starving in the forest, Hansel and Gretel see a land of plenty just beyond. It smells of fried foods, sausages and everything they could possibly imagine.

7th arm: With increasing popularity, they suddenly want to try gain power over others, by becoming politicians, for example. More and more magicians, musicians and actors are entering the world of politics. The greed for power has shaped the history of mankind for so long and has ultimately brought only death and ruin. Eloquent politicians can easily spread lies and find enough followers to implement their political agendas, no matter how wrong they are. A charged socio-political climate, history has shown, regardless who is behind the greed for power, creates only losers in the long run. Greed for power manifests itself in many ways: a show of superiority, the claim to be right, the wish to impose one's will. Whether it is Buddhists expelling the Rohingya, Indian Hindus robbing Muslims of their livelihoods, Muslims bombing Christian churches, or crusaders forcibly converting infidels: throughout history, the power of religion may have done more harm than good. Attaining power through a show of strength, physical intimidation or even the use of weapons, leaves traumatized victims and robs countless people of their ancestral homelands. Power through drugs, criminal organizations, politics and world religions can tear apart established social structures and leave irreparable damage behind. Although it was difficult for people to check propaganda for truth before we had the internet, the internet has made it even easier for people today to produce and spread fake news and conspiracy theories and to make others believe just about anything.

9th arm:Is there a way out? A glance at the history of humankind suggests a solution, painful but feasible. But it requires the destruction of the current order. Great natural disasters and wars have destroyed or wiped out entire civilizations or forced them to migrate. In Europe, the consequences of the Second World War uprooted most people, stripping them of everything that was important to their social status. The devastating tsunami of 2004, which cost the lives of almost 250,000 people in Asia, succeeded in breaking up political fronts and entrenched power structures. Greed for beauty and fame, political power and the greed for raw materials were all washed away with the floods. Like a giant river ending in a waterfall that swallows up all of the abominations spawned by greed, then pulverizing them through the kinetic energy of the fall. Social differences are temporarily erased and a new beginning can come. Has anyone learned anything from this cycle? I doubt it...

| Hiding in the shade of a small rocky wall, this suricate escaped from being hunted. Its not alone, the friends are checking the area around and will signal as soon as they see predators. Standing in a piece of driftwood, itself the suricate is carved from mango wood. |

| Another artwork from a driftwood trove. This piece of teakwood is likely from the fishing boat rib and gave the perfect home for this mink whale. They are hunted from a few countries, likely Japan. It is believed that there are some 500.000 mink whales living in all the oceans. |
