Ossietzky’s Nobel Peace Prize nomination telegram was numbered 109. That part! Do you see 109 within the painting? It’s not hidden. It’s right there. I found it when I visited the Nobel Peace Museum in Sweden. This was another encounter with 109. Please support 109. Buy 109 and/or artwork inspired by 109 at http://www.isee109.store

I even opted to have the trout with the veggie combo. Though my appearance hints at one of Ethiopian descent, my inability to carry a conversation in Amharic suggests otherwise. However,…
109: What’s It All About?
Here are several short videos about 109. I have found these numbers all over the world under peculiar circumstances.

It is my…
