FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Ursula is part of a unique art project in which an iconic horse sculpture continuously comes to life — no matter the form, size, or material in which it appears. Each piece carries the same recognizable silhouette but transforms in character depending on its surroundings, the hands that shape it, and the stories that unfold around it. Whether in glass, wood, plexiglass, or mosaic, Ursula always remains the same being: a symbol of simplicity, imagination, and the power of universal beauty that adapts to every culture and to every eye that beholds her.
Ursula is created all over the world. Her makers are modern-day nomads — artists, craftsmen, and dreamers who travel across continents in search of new forms of beauty. Each place leaves its trace: local materials, traditions, and stories merge into every new creation. Through their journeys, these makers keep Ursula alive, transforming her again and again into a reflection of the cultures and people they encounter. Together, they form a moving atelier without borders — united by the desire to discover, share, and create beauty wherever they go.
Within the puzzle horse lies the purity of the childlike — that disarming simplicity with which a child sees the world. Ursula reminds us of a time when imagination knew no limits and play was a form of creation. Each piece of the puzzle horse invites touch, discovery, and wonder. Its beauty does not lie in perfection, but in the act of play itself: the joy of building with one’s hands, the rediscovery of curiosity, and the realization that true creativity begins when we dare to dream like a child again.
The purpose of Ursula is to travel the world and spread joy. She transcends boundaries — political, religious, and racial — as a universal being that speaks the silent language of beauty and imagination. Wherever she appears, Ursula connects people through emotion rather than words, reminding us of what unites us instead of what divides us. Her journey is one of lightness and hope: a gentle movement across cultures that celebrates our shared humanity and the simple joy of being connected.
Anyone can become a Journeylist and take part in this unique global project. Journeylists are people from anywhere in the world who take Ursula along to extraordinary places and encounters, helping to write the ongoing story of connection. Whether you’re wandering through your own city or traveling across continents, every meeting and every location becomes a chapter in Ursula’s shared journey. Together, these moments form a living map of human connection — a story written not in words, but in presence, kindness, and curiosity.
