Questioning is an art that transcends time and species, as seen in William Frederick Yeames' thought-provoking painting "And when did you last see your father?" from 1878. The captivating gaze of the Harpy Eagle in Gamboa, Soberania National Park, Panama, raises questions about its majestic existence in the wild. Similarly, the Malaysian Orchid Mantis camouflaged on a delicate orchid leaves us questioning nature's ability to blend beauty with deception. In Sammamish, Washington State, USA, a three-month-old Blue Merle Australian Shepherd puppy embodies curiosity at its purest form. As Odin questions Mimir in a color lithograph artwork, we are reminded of our relentless pursuit for knowledge and understanding. The diver's encounter with a Great white shark off Guadalupe Island sparks both fear and fascination while raising inquiries about coexistence between humans and these magnificent creatures. Joseph Swain's artwork "The Conservative Programme" from 1872 prompts us to question political ideologies that shape societies. History unfolds before our eyes as we witness the examination of Louis XVI during his arrest at Varennes in France. Two members of Gibraltar's police force questioning a Spanish boy on a refugee boat during the Spanish Civil War evoke reflections on human displacement and compassion. Lastly, the innocent gaze of Korka—a four-month-old Patterdale Terrier puppy—invites us to ponder life's simplest joys amidst chaos. In this vast array of images capturing moments of inquiry and introspection across different realms, one thing remains certain: questioning is an essential part of our collective journey towards enlightenment.
