For the main exhibition's topic symbilizing active meditative state we offered art object "In Silence" as a replica in the design of James Webb infrared space telescope by NASA. The mirror is a deep symbol of Mind, a tool of knowledge and reflection of what a person can see and thus can cognize. All optics in telescopes basically have mirrors in the construction. So the allusion to James Webb telescope is also a metaphor for silent observation of the Universe were our lonely home is situated. Widening our consciousness in learning the space we can see more precisely our own planet's problems not even from a bird's-eye view but at a much higher distance. We can glimpse backwards at Earth and see how it is magnificent and so vulnarable at the same time. Wе can also see the birth of the Universe back in time and interstellar sights. The art objects "Silence Catchers" also presented in the KulttuuriKaupila art space in Ii, Finland, placed in its beautiful nordic environment hanging on tree branches comprise the composition for meditation.

The total installation was devouted to Silence as the main creative force reflecting the world in unique new way through the lences of conciousness. The subliming gist of this ability accompanies natural being though demands responsibility in taking care of the cosmos we live in deliviring it from chaos of neglecting.

KulttuuriKauppila runs an international artist residency, produces the Art Ii Biennial and Valto Pernu Photo Marathon and provides studios for local artists. The centre aims to improve artists' skills, belongs to international art networks and produces an international art–education. The edifecies of workshops of KulttuuriKauppila were launched for reconstruction after great fire by Sanna Koivisto for the purposes of artists global creative work.

The work in KultuuriKauppila art residence lasted for one month, was performed in the local workshop and Finnish rural area sceneries where several art objects, video and photo of the installations in the invironment were created during that period, and afterwards presented to the public as the result of the planned work together with spontaneous ideas. The art oblect "In Silence (JWST)" was also displayed in the art park of the community in March, 2021 alongside with the installations of other participants.

The base of the object was made out of a wooden panel to make the object solid and stable
