A small ice floe floats in the middle of an icy seascape, surrounded by glittering, frosty waves. A group of penguins is standing on the floe: the adult penguins are watching with an observant gaze and a little penguin with a curious look that has not yet been moulded by the world. Their eyes are fixed on an unexpected phenomenon - a prairie dog is peering curiously out of a hole in the ice, a creature that doesn't seem to fit into this environment at all.
The little penguin is not shy at all. With childlike curiosity and an unclouded mind, he waddles towards the prairie dog, while the adults linger sceptically in the background. The contrast between the icy white of the surroundings, the black and white penguins and the warm brown of the prairie dog is fascinating and almost surreal.
It seems as if the scene symbolises openness and the clash of opposites. The atmosphere is calm, almost peaceful, as the two unexpected life forms meet. A moment without prejudice, characterised by interest and curiosity, frozen in a unique encounter.
