Philosophers are often like little children, who first scribble random lines on a piece of paper with their pencils, and now ask an adult

 

'What is that?

Sophie's World (Norwegian: Sofies verden) is a 1991 novel by Norwegian writer Jostein Gaarder. It follows Sophie Amundsen, a Norwegian teenager, who is introduced to the history of philosophy as she is asked "Who are you?" in a letter from an unknown philosopher.

 

The nonfictional content of the book aligns with Bertrand Russell's The History of Western Philosophy

The sculptural composition ́Summer ́ by Inni Pärnänen

The flower sculpture of her work is built on a principle that allows it to grow, like a fragment from what may have been a much larger hanging.

 

 

It can be related to a type known as millefleurs, meaning a thousand flowers. This was a style in the late 15th, and millefleurs were woven in many different centers and workshops in Northern France and Flanders. They often included small animals and birds among the flowers, in which case the animals might be symbolic. The installation invites visitors to take part in the creation of the Garden of a Thousand Flowers by drawing plants, flowers or the inhabitants of the garden.
