FIGHT FOR KINDNESS PROJECT
I believe in the power of words in shaping our thinking and behavior. And leading by example with meaningful visuals is a powerful way to do it. So I do my part also by creating artwork, headlines and storytelling for the Fight for Kindness international campaign.
Treat Your words with kindness
A pun from “Put flowers in your guns”, from the Flower Power antiwar movement.
Words can be violent or non-violent. With this artwork, we invite people and creatives to add kindness to the words they use and make kindness bloom.
The color Rose Quartz is one of the two PANTONE Colors of the Year 2016 – when it was chosen to represent “a soothing sense of peace”.
KINDNESS at work
An invitation to work together and co-create kindness in every gesture and action, by showing care and respect. The hands’ vintage touch evokes politeness associated with times gone by.
The color Serenity is one of the two PANTONE Colors of the Year 2016, “reflecting connection and wellness, bringing feelings of respite and relaxation even in turbulent times”.
THE ONLY GOOD FIGHT IS KIND
The messages in this artwork are subversions of iconic film posters. “Natural Born Killers” is ripped as in a décollage to become “Natural Born Kindnessers”, and the Full Metal Jacket helmet that read “Born to kill” becomes a means of peace: “Born to be kind”.
A change of paradigm and behavior is utterly urgent now, and art and culture must help in the fight for peace and kindness.
