The pursuit of life, in addition to money, happiness and freedom, may be to leave some good things behind after leaving, no matter what it is. The famous Dutch artist, illustrator and writer Sieb Posthuma, who illustrated many childrens books and won many awards, passed away last year. Dutch architect Ira Koers and interior designer Roelof Mulder completed a project for him called "A Pond Full of Ink" illustration exhibition.
"A Pond Full of Ink" is named after a 2014 childrens book by Annie M.G. Schmidt and illustrated by Sieb Posthuma.
