The Shadow of Laughter
Acrylics, 90x65 cm
Laughter often seems light and genuine, yet behind it can linger shame, insecurity, and pain. Shame is clever, it can make us hide our smile, even though it's one of the most beautiful and authentic parts of us.

We can argue when we past 1.5C in the IPCC terms, but the fact is heat is on, and we are on our way to 2C or more of warming. In the best scenarios 1.5C and 2C would be for brief "overshoot" periods, but it is a gamble...

#COP16 secures $200B/yr for nature. Big win, but will it reach the ground? Over half of countries lack action plans, and industry lobbyists loom large. Climate and biodiversity are one fight. Time for binding, not voluntary, commitments. 🌍

And then, the pendulum swings. Trump's actions toward Zelensky paved the way for Europe's deeper integration, strengthening diplomacy and cooperation. #IStandWithUkraine

Yes, Trump’s climate policy is extremely concerning, but the problems don’t stop there.
The UN deadline for new climate targets has passed, and neither the EU, China, nor India managed to finalize their updated emission reduction plans. (1/2)

Most countries miss UN deadline for new climate targets
Many of the world's biggest polluter nations have missed a U.N. deadline to set new climate targets as efforts to curb global warming come under pressure following U.S. President Donald Trump's election.

Research is the foundation of freedom. Without open science, we cannot understand societal issues, find solutions, or build a more sustainable future. When decision-making is based on censored or restricted information, it no longer serves the public it only serves those who want to prevent change.

Watching the program Nazitown, USA on Finnish TV. The people featured in the program use very familiar expressions and opinions, like claiming a group of people lazy, "America First," and holding ecstatic mass gatherings where these ideas were repeated. How is it possible that we are here again?

Finally, after a long break, I painted again. It still needs some work, but so far, I'm quite happy with the intensity of this piece. What do you think? #art #arcylicpainting

On climate, did you know that only 11% of people in the US (and even smaller percentages in Canada, the UK, Australia and beyond) are dismissive?
Yet because their voices are so loud and persistent, people often think they’re 50%.
This is why I advocate so strongly for using YOUR voice!

Why can't all the knowledge in the world just stick in my head effortlessly? I wish I had a system like in Locke & Key, where I could simply insert new knowledge into my mind and, at the same time, remove all the shitty things.

Today marks the International Holocaust Remembrance Day. It is a moment to reflect on the importance of human rights and tolerance in today's world. This day emphasizes the need to maintain awareness of history to prevent similar tragedies from happening again.
Auschwitz was at the end of a long process. It did not start from gas chambers.
This hatred was gradually developed by humans. From ideas, words, stereotypes & prejudice through legal exclusion, dehumanization & escalating violence... to systematic and industrial murder.
Auschwitz took time.

Earlier, I wrote about the pendulum of forces and counterforces that keeps progress in motion. Furuta and Bromley’s research offers a fascinating example of this: the strongest environmental commitments often provoke the strongest counterreactions. (1/3)
Globalizing opposition to pro-environmental institutions: The growth of counter climate change organizations around the world, 1990 to 2018

The World Happiness Report 2024 notes that acts of kindness increase happiness for both givers and receivers, fostering mutual well-being.
So, does it matter why we do good, if the outcome is positive? Selfless or not, kindness often brings joy to the giver too. What do you think?

Going through some of my older work, like this oil pastel drawing, reminds me of how much I miss creating art. Drawing and painting have always been my way to recharge and find balance, but lately, I’ve been telling myself I’m 'too busy. (1/2)

The world feels like it’s in a state of upheaval – the pendulum has swung in one direction, and it’s causing concern for many. History shows us that the pendulum never stops. When it swings to an extreme, opposing forces grow stronger, and the direction shifts. (1/3)

I think this is one of my favourite colourful climate chart type things, because it depicts two things at once:
- Things are going to get worse, no matter what
- The degree to which they get worse depends on decisions made today
