I often think, especially that now I had another birthday, how much time I need to mull over some ideas and events in my life. (Dance is mostly about moving with some breaks and in groups, so I need quiet in the studio). For things to settle down in my mind, to digest many experiences. And then they will chrystallized in some ways in my art.

Definitely I will run with the importance of culture/identity/human rights and nature/ecology parallel as equally significant and how we can balance them. Because what else is there?

Everything I create will be in that vein. Even if the art images and materials vary, the basic values will be there behind them.

One sequence of numbers, written down by an Italian mathematician 800 years ago, keeps showing up in places that have nothing to do with each other. That is either the strangest coincidence in nature or a hint at something deeper.

The Fibonacci sequence is simple to generate. Start with 0 and 1, then each number is the sum of the two before it: 0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, and onward. As the sequence grows, the ratio between consecutive numbers gets closer and closer to a value of approximately 1.618, known as the golden ratio, represented by the Greek letter phi.

Where it gets genuinely interesting is how often this ratio appears in living things. Sunflower seeds spiral outward in two sets of interlocking curves, and the number of spirals in each direction are almost always consecutive Fibonacci numbers. Pinecones do the same. The arrangement of leaves around many plant stems follows Fibonacci spacing. The chambers of a nautilus shell grow in a logarithmic spiral closely related to the golden ratio.

There is a real reason for this, and it is worth being precise about it. In plants, Fibonacci patterns emerge because they solve an optimization problem. Arranging seeds or leaves at an angle related to the golden ratio packs the maximum number of elements into a given space without overlap, and gives each leaf the best possible access to sunlight. Evolution did not choose Fibonacci because it is beautiful. It arrived there because it is efficient.

The connection to galaxies and hurricanes requires more caution. Spiral galaxies and storm systems do form logarithmic spirals, but they are not strictly Fibonacci spirals. They are shaped by physics, gravity, angular momentum, fluid dynamics, that happen to produce spiral geometry. The resemblance is real but the underlying cause is different from the biological case.

So the honest version is this. The Fibonacci sequence appears in nature far more often than chance would suggest, especially in living things, because it solves real physical problems. The broader pattern of spirals across the universe is partly Fibonacci and partly just the geometry that efficient growth and rotational physics tend to produce.

Fungi, one of the focus points of my art!

Researchers have created the first high-resolution global map of the extent of one of Earth’s largest—and least visible—living networks.

The arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi are charismatic topsoil denizens with symbiotic trade relationships spanning roughly 70 percent of plant species on Earth. Yet although AM fungi haul roughly four billion metric tons of carbon from plants into the soil each year, there’s still a lot we humans don’t know about this type of fungus, starting with how much of it there actually is.

Until now: in a new paper, researchers combined data from more than 300 studies to estimate the total global biomass of AM fungi. http://spklr.io/6006E3ZRi

What is ecstatic about improvised dancing to live music that you feed off each other on the dance floor and by interacting with the musicians. I never had that intense interaction in the visual arts.
