Artist Statement

In creating this sculpture, I tried to consider the theme of the conference and to create a sculpture that would fit the idea of "torn societies."

This sculpture is a pair of hands, knitting. The hands are crudely constructed. They are contrasting colors to represent different people or cultures. But they are still capable of creating something strong and beautiful. These hands are "knitting" together new forms. These hands are at once personal – they represent individual potential – and also symbolic of different types of people coming together to create a better world.
