Emanation
The «Emanation» project is about the connection between the Part and the Whole. Wars, global crises reduce the importance of one small person and nature as living creatures at all. Moreover, any war begins within each of us. Our task is not to take it outside, but to win the inner battle and find peace. Not only those who think like you or look like you deserve kindness and compassion. The life of any creature is important. Working on the project gave me back the feeling of "I am" and every «Self» matters.
The Great in the Small, but it cannot be seen, it can only be felt.
