BLOB TREE ......
This one is a group of blobs which are drawn to mirror the exact body shapes of the humans in the dove advert. Women dressed in underwear .......
This ad is about ..... 'love' .....
It is to make people think beyond the product - beyond the body shapes ......... to connect our minds to human kind who are living in poverty, connect those humans to the reality of today for about a third of us in the rich world ........ I think us rich are much less than a third - do you think?
What can we do when we meet another in need ..........
I have sorrow and then Joy ...........
One of the issues around my life today, and yesterday, is the issue of a young human trying to come and study in the UK.
The UK embassy in India wants evidence to make sure that a human is not intending to come here and disappear into the system and become an illegal immigrant and also not to apply for any public funds or benefits.
When it comes to Student visas, they always filter so only rich people get through… they want to see about £20K in bank and an ongoing steady income as a criteria. A genuine student applying from India. But in the persons case is different, he was in this country for 4 years, he can easily find a job and meet the college fee, accommodation and other expenses without any help from public funds. It is still a major issue and like a brick wall for those who are poor.
The level of society that such young humans face is difficult for us to understand. I know is difficult to imagine as such a huge amount, it grows even more oppressive when it is converted in Rupees. There is no chance for such young people from that society to apply to study in UK.
Making Poverty History is about Nations and Communities but comes down to the individual - it seems to me.
Such a situation happened today and there has been a breakthrough. That person has received a commitment by a sponsor and I have big positive feelings about it.
I delight for the individual. Massive.
I also delight in the community which has grown and can handle this like a miracle.
It is.
So it is an example of us not being a marbles in a jar - barely in touch with each other -
It is more like a honeycomb which is bound together to offer each other sweetness and life.
Me being me - I fear and therefore pray that the authorities and visa passage from now on will be only beautiful ......... for of such is the kingdom ..........
