How much easier would it be for humans if all they needed to coexist was a recipe from a cookbook. A lost treasure to uncover and serve on a plate? I doubt that this is something we can find but I tried to write my own version of it.

I mainly draw. I have been trying to design/make something regularly, since the lock-down. The first three posters are explorations of a pattern, led by and to go with the Aristotle quote. I had not worked with patterns before, and it was quite an exercise! The poster with the most detail came of the shock that the graph in it caused me. I am fortunate to have come across this delightful haiku in my life, and more so, to pass it on. I have digitized an old unused illustration of mine and made a layout with it. As ever, I cease to be once the art is displayed and it’s just you so, nothing on what they mean or represent. I hope the works speak clearly and appeal to you in some way.

Where ever we live in this world, we are connecting and we are together.

This piece was born out of pain and anger from the tragic murders of countless black men and women in the United States. Systemic racism must end. Enough is Enough!

Sometimes facts and words speak to us more clearly than they usually do.
Here, on Earth, we all live together and in these unprecedented times we probably have to speak to each other more clearly and properly than we used to do.
It’s all about our own differences and identities and the importance of solidarity.
Our call, now, is to find new ways to co-exist.

people of the world unite!

This drawing evokes the need to recreate a link with others and nature. The plurality of worlds, perceived as so many local singularities and small communities, seems to be connected by a global consciousness, a cosmos whose breath crosses the whole of the living.

194 stars, one for every nation, surround a central dot, representing our world.
Despite all stars being different from another they share many similarities underlining the idea, that with open mindedness we can bridge the gaps between us–or at least respect each other.
By using the iconography of a flag we get an emotional symbol to rally under.

The Path 2:

This little poem is a reflection about the past. Will we ever learn from the past and change our ways? I hope so. The space is there to make you read it again, turn it around in your head and remind ourself that it is on us to change history’s course, our course.

Will we emerge better from this pandemic? It will truly be a different World?
Exist & Company is nothing more than a play on words that hides a bitter criticism of the current World.

We need to try to co-exist in this world, all together workin and moving forward.

Each piece matters and together we will manage to change the world, we must act and contribute.

Koexistenz funktioniert nur wenn alle dabei mitmachen. Um dieses Konzept umzusetzen, müssen alle daran glauben und versuchen, die Fesseln und Ideen der alten Welt, des Kolonialismus und des Rassismus zu brechen und zu überwinden. Leider gibt es immer noch zu viele Menschen, für die, das Konzept des friedlichen Nebeneinanders nach wie vor keine Möglichkeit ist.

Hong Kong is a very small and crowded city, and we all have a very difficult time. But we exist to cover each other and wish for a better future after the hard rain.
