Artist Statement
As soon as we are born, we are given a name, a religion, a nationality, and a race. The problem is that many people spend the rest of their lives defending a fictional identity that creates all kind of conflicts. With that comes competition for ascendancy in world trade, power, or military that may simply be empty and destructive on every level. The more we educate ourselves through art and learn about other cultures and traditions, the more we’ll be enriched, which will help us to rise above the religious dogmas, political ideologies and national allegiances that bitterly divide the world in the first place.
