Equality - Die Inspiration für diesen Quilt stammt aus dem Konzept der #Gleichheit in all ihren Formen: Geschlecht, sozial, ethnisch und kulturell. Gleichheit in jedem Bereich, der uns als Menschen betrifft, und leider sehen wir Tag für Tag, wie sie überschritten wird.
Watercolour - Ebenso wie das Malen mit Wasserfarben mir erlaubt, mit Helligkeit und Dunkelheit zu spielen, Farben zu mischen und schöne Formen zu schaffen, versuche ich das Gleiche, aber diesmal mit meinen Stoffen.
One-in-every-four - In Lateinamerika leben 104 Millionen Menschen in informellen Siedlungen. Hier lebt jeder vierte Stadtbewohner in einer Situation der Armut und Ausgrenzung.
