The shadows are stretching across the garden path, and near the ivy, there is a small, purposeful rustling.
Every afternoon just before the sun dips behind the Utrecht rooftops, a few hedgehogs emerge to claim the garden. I watched one today: a sturdy little creature navigating the roots of an old oak with such 'klein maar dapper' spirit. Despite their limited size, they move with a quiet confidence that says they belong exactly where they are. There is a beautiful resilience in how they simply tuck away when the world gets too loud, only to emerge and continue their journey once the light softens.
Luno finds great comfort in this rhythm. In my own work, especially when the digital landscape feels overwhelming or a shot doesn't capture the 'lichtspel' I imagined, I think of these small visitors. They do not fight the terrain, they adapt to it. It is a vital lesson for any artist: to remain soft yet protected, and to keep moving forward regardless of the obstacles in our path. How do you find the strength to adapt when your surroundings change?
