People are different yet so alike.
World is so diverse yet so alike.
I would like to create works of art with my project 193 that should sensitize us as we humans are, although we are often culturally so diverse. Works of art that make us think that we are humanity and that all people on our wonderful earth have the same basic needs. A humanity that should follow the same values and where everyone must work to ensure that all people have the same rights and opportunities so that the pursuit of a peaceful and happy coexistence with nature is no longer just a dream. Because we must all be aware of it ... humanity has no time to waste for wars, hatred, greed and oppression. We need to work hand in hand to solve the problems of the world, so that social injustice, hunger, oppression, poverty and pollution do not drive us away from planet Earth.
My goal of each project 193 is to bring a simple thing or item in one work of art on a particular topic together. Same simple things from all over the world are meant to show us how equal human beings are. We use the same things around the world to make life easier, more comfortable, safer, more useful, more beautiful ... to be more happy. That´s the point - being happy.
"I want to make people happy.
Happy people form a happy society."
