249:(2019–20) at Walter Storms Galerie in Munich, Germany states, "The latest project of Czech artist Magdalena Jetelová (born 1946) ‘Pacific Ring of Fire’, as in her 1992 ‘Iceland Project’, revisits the theme of the natural, geological borders. at the point where the pacific plate meets several other continental plates, the pacific ring of fire surrounds the pacific plate in a horseshoe shape with a volcanic belt. In Patagonia, Jetelová uses mathematical calculations to mark the plate boundary with a laser beam, as clear elevations are not visible due to the eternal ice. Messages like ‘ESSENTIAL IS VISIBLE’ were written with a laser pointer on the changing, partly collapsing icebergs. The drastic geological changes caused by climate change clearly resound in these photographic images presented in large-format light boxes."

The overwhelming size of the piece, joined by its reflective gold surface, make it feel as if it has been living in the trees since the dawn of time, a fitting size for the creatures that roamed the Earth before us. Simplified down to one common shape and one color, the egg begins to become a symbol of nature and Earth, a larger entity which sustains all life. Located on what is known as The Wood Sculpture Path, an artistic hiking train in the Siegerland-Wittgenstein district of Germany, visitors can walk through nature and enjoy outdoor sculptures such as Jetelová's.
