Really spread love not violence and hate. I believe in solving everything the peaceful way (without violence nor threats).
Shadows of Memories, New Heroes’ Wish by Jeffrey Salon
“The work Shadows of Memories, New Heroes’ Wish rebounds on a more romantic tilt. In a hopeful boy, Salon seeks a more positive light as he puts an end to all these prevalent (to paraphrase the Desiderata’s last lines) “sham, drudgery, and even his broken dreams.” This work represents everything that has won for him in major art competitions. Showing Salon’s soft heart and how it could translate to clear blue skies and happy smiles. Like parables, the message is simple and meaningful: what children want may not be a good and comfortable life but affection from a parent or being able to play freely.
If one notices Salon’s deep concern for children’s causes, it is because of a certain Rodrigo Benitez. A man of the world now disgruntled, Benitez was senior artist who sought refuge in his hometown in Bicol. A classmate introduced them and this chance encounter by his house by the sea, a sort-of-Tuesdays-with-Morrie would happen. Through endless hours, they would discuss anything under the sun except art but Salon would recall and reflect them in his works. Time lapsed and city life got Salon busy with his art, Benitez passed away last year. This still hurts Salon to this day. As he continues to fight this younger generation’s struggle, it is also important for him he does not sound as stale as old tobacco as he defends children in a style that is not staid or looks like a propaganda piece.” by JAY BAUTISTA
So… Just Love!
This here is an art made by using Crayola crayons and a hair dryer. Just melt them. Yes, MELT!
There are times when we feel down or angry or mad or basically ‘not so great’, just get up and just LOVE. You could give someone a hug or maybe cook for a special person, maybe even bake cookies for your neighbors. The idea here is to not focus on whatever “crappy” feelings your feeling and focus on creating something positive instead. It feels so much better for yourself and the other person.
So, go on and LOVE someone today, everyday!!!
Children and an Umbrella: The Sequel
“Defense Cooperation”
Artist: Sutatip M.
Location: Petchaboon, Thailand
Age: 16
“In my picture people around the world play together to protect the world. Similarly, there is an umbrella to protect against solar rays. A nuclear weapon is a mass destructive weapon from which many living things will be affected. People from different nations come together to sweep away nuclear weapons so as to create peace for our future.”
We can be the “umbrella” that shields, that protects. We can create the peace that we all sought for, fight for. We can stop wars, we can create the future we envisioned by starting now with us.
It’s great to see the world like children, where everything is a possible, friends can be made through passing crayons in kindergarten or a simple game of hide and seek. Where there is no barriers, no walls and no discrimination due to a difference of color or religion.
So I challenge you to give yourself an hour to see the world like a child again and interact with others, without the walls and barriers around you. Shake hands with the security guard whose name you never knew, say thank you to someone who is special to you. As your neighbor how’d they do, or go up a stranger and offer a hug.
Peace and Unity begins with us. It’s Now or Never.
