Last September, my son and I took the ferryboat to New York City for a week, speeding through nature’s beauty and man's creation: The New York City waterfront. Nature reflected and coloured the tall buildings that in return bounced their color facades back on to nature as well as the waterfront. Depending on the time of day we travelled, the colors exploded into a variety of energies containing such strength, that daydreaming became the only possible state of mind as we sailed through the harbor each day. It was soon clear to me that the millions of people from all over the world, coming in and out of buildings and working in the city each day were the main force of that energy: All of them doing their best every day in pursuit of their dreams; succeeding and failing and constantly trying: Each person, like great ambassadors of the world, contributing to the life and dreams of this magnificent city. My new artwork is dedicated to the human spirit that dreams and tries the possible and the impossible everyday. It is about the human emotions of failing, succeeding, and constantly trying for a better world. |
