everything imaginable that can be used in the art of letterwriting.
How I decide whom to write? It depends on my mood, my thoughts, things that are going on in the lives of people I know, things that are happening in the world etcetera.I write to people that I personally know, my friends, family, people that I admirer, people that I love (I don't do hatemail) or the people who support me and my work. Which is something you can do too.

Why do we like some animals - even see them as part of our families - and others not?

I think the answer mainly lies in our capability of humanizing an animal. If we can imagine ourself that a certain animal has a character, feelings, a gender etc etc. our brain tells us: this is a human being. And when it is small, has big eyes and it's fluffy, we see it as a little baby. So, so far for a short lesson in psychology in how we emphatise with (some) animals.
Well, what if you change this? What happens when you change the looks of an animal that (in our eyes) usually has no personality, no feelings and 
no gender? In my project SAVE THE SNAILS I did just that. and guess what happened...
People wanted to 'resque' the snails. Stole snails out of the exhibitions. Started petitions. Wrote articles on how cruel it was to use animals for a piece of art. - Did all kind of things to protect the exact same animals as they would usually poisen when found in their gardens. —> for the record. no animals were harmed in here. I used special glue and light weight materials. None of the snails bothered their new looks.
They just kept on being snails. The only difference was that people started to see them as 'persons' and with that, people felt that THESE snails could never be killed. So yes, I saved the snails by changing the way people saw them.

cc @postnl These women! I met them in the year 2012 at a market at the old town of Manila, Philippines and I've spend hours with them talking about life which basically means: everything.
During my stay, which was about a month, the neighborhood (the market!) was flooded a few times. Water reached up to over 1,2 meters and everything got flushed away.

But every time, these brave ladies just collected all their soaking wet 
goods and they hung them to dry so everything could be sold again.

I have a huge respect for these women and all the people there who just keep going dispite of floods (and there are more and heavier floods every year) and the lack of so many things we, here in The Netherlands, would call 'basic needs'. #manila #philippines #floods #climatechange #water #flooded #market #women #powerwoman #respect #travel #traveling #newfriends #TINKEBELL.
