“When I saw it on the news and then on the Internet, it caught me with intensities that I have no words to describe…I felt I had to do something with it, as a kind of an “immediate witness”. This incident happened in the U.S. and reached the whole world in seconds. It went ‘viral’. What happened in Minneapolis, sent ‘ripples’, it touched me and hit me with tremendous intensity. When living in a global village, everyone is exposed to online events…In my local space, I can witness an event that takes place in another part of the world and experience it as if it happened in my local surroundings. I can identify with it and respond to it and create ‘ripples’ around it as they touch me here. My answer is my art which ripples back there into the world…to emphasize, by my abilities, that this cannot go on, it is time for a change!”
