(1) The distinction of people into nationalities is superfluous and must be urgently reconsidered in order to achieve peaceful coexistence. This breaking down of borders starts at your own garden fence!
There is hope after despair and many suns after darkness. — Rumi
“O mankind! We created you from a single (pair) of a male and a female, and made you into nations and tribes, that you may know each other (not that you may despise each other). Verily the most honoured among you in the sight of God is the most righteous of you.”
[ Quran 49 : 13 ]

The following poster is in part inspired by the idea of borders and what that means in today’s context.

The Tokyo Skytree operates as a broadcasting tower for the Kantō Region. It replaced the Tokyo Tower due to the vast increase in development and high-rise buildings. With it also being the tallest tower in the world it can be seen to represent the exponential urbanisation absorbing our planet. Tokyo is the largest and most densely populated city I’ve visited but despite its size, everything runs extremely efficiently. It is a place where humans coexist with incredible balance with each other. A balance that is increasingly lost between the city and surrounding nature.
