I am taking an ecological view - seeing no real separation between ourselves and other forms of life. The growth patterns of the branches can be compared with other natural systems - including our own internal systems (blood vessels etc.).

“On one side of my flag is the image of Buddha, the symbol of Ultimate Peace, rendered with an open, dotted contour emphasizing the inseparability of inner and outer space embodied by the Buddha's Mind. On the other side of the flag is an image of one of the Buddha's hand gestures or mudra representing teachings on wisdom, compassion and equanimity. Both images have been made to resemble a stellar constellation, making reference to the mysterious night sky, a symbol of the nature of our Wisdom Mind”.

Empreinte The flag "trace" (empreinte) has the imprint of my face, my mouth and my hands. In the Christian tradition the first "photo" would have been the imprint of the face of Christ on the cloth of St. Veronica (that is a legend, and Véronique means true (vero) icon). So I wanted to make an impression like that of the holy shroud in tribute to the victims. I wanted this trace round and central because of the Japanese flag, but I did not want it with color.

Rén this flag are foot prints, the departure, the exile of survivors. The black form and the foots write the ideogram rén (in Chinese)

Artists will make art on cloth to hang together like Tibetan prayer flags.

The pieces will first be hung at the Grafton Peace Pagoda in Grafton, NY on August 6th, Hiroshima Day for the annual prayer ceremony.

Then the pieces will travel to each artist to be used in some kind of ceremony in their country as a symbol of peace around the world, and also could be shown in galleries. Each artist will be responsible for shipping to the next artist.

This was inspired by the ceremony we had in Romania on Hiroshima Day.
