Reports urging the species\u2019 culling disregard evidence that its native habitat range has always extended into Europe, and that its presence in the Netherlands is the result of climate change as much as human introduction.<\/td><td><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"max-width: 600px; width: -webkit-fill-available;\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/panseeatta.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/20260319_1838342-scaled.jpg?fit=950%2C713&amp;ssl=1\" alt=\"\"><\/td><\/tr><tr><td><img alt=\"\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"max-width: 600px; width: -webkit-fill-available;\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/panseeatta.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/IMG_3508-FIXED-2-scaled.jpg?fit=950%2C634&amp;ssl=1\" alt=\"\"><\/td><td>The idea that the Netherlands and Egypt (and Europe and the Middle East more generally) have always been interlinked is echoed in Dutch Golden Age paintings of the Biblical scene of the \u2018Flight into Egypt\u2019. In these artworks, the Holy Family flees Jerusalem for safety in Egypt. Yet the landscape depicted by Dutch artists is consistently European, thereby imagining the Holy Family as seeking refuge close by, rather than somewhere distant and exotic. The distance between first-century Egypt and the contemporary Netherlands is folded into one, and empathy is extended to those forced to flee home against their will.<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>In my series of paintings and sculptures, I imagine human-Nijlgans hybrids in a style that combines Egyptian and European art, placing them in re-imagined versions of \u2018The Flight into Egypt\u2019 by Breughel, Rembrandt, Cuyp and others. These re-imagined histories intertwine human and animal migration, and the ways we understand them in the present. The goose-human hybrids are more than a reference of Ancient Egyptian representations of animal-headed gods; they also represent the deeply intertwined ways in which humans have always shaped the natural world, and vice versa.<\/td><td><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" height=\"633\" width=\"950\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"max-width: 600px; width: -webkit-fill-available;\"
