What makes this book special is the profound honesty with which absurdity and pain is extracted and overcome to yield the beauty of the moment.

Heidi Trimmel holds a doctorate in meteorology as a diploma in landscape planning and has spent nearly two decades researching the boundaries between urban systems and the atmosphere. Alongside this scientific work, she has quietly built a second body of practice: watercolours, philosophical texts, sound art, site-specific installations, and haiku. Systemic thinking holds the capacity to integrate these two worlds - to trace hidden connections, follow relations rather than facts, and stay with complexity without resolving it too soon. Both paths circle the same question - our relationship with nature - around and within us. Her writing and art emerge from the space where measurement and computational modelling end and something else begins. Her quest for peace between humans and nature leads her deep inside human nature.
