Major project:

Journey of Hope

Journey of Hope is a participatory installation offering willing participants the chance to get actively involved by sharing their journey with a caravan of hope for humanity. It is an attempt to strengthen the understanding of the artwork itself and an outlet for every sentiment.

Info

  • I am not a politician

    I can’t decide the fate of the people

    I am one of the citizens of a billion,

    Peace, love & freedom love the colour of my eyes

    Pain & remembrance are the old friends of mine

    A knot has a wish that is sacred

    & speaks the truth that is truth.

    I have tasted the violence that is violent

    I have tasted the beauty that is absolute

    I look back and say

    As a matter of my skin

    Is the gesture of my resistance.
