Aos Indiferentes Precisamos dos indiferentes, dos conformados e dos céticos. Precisamos dos que ligam demasiado ao carro. E dos que não desligam a luz. Precisamos dos que deixam a água a correr. E dos que se demoram no banho. Precisamos dos que atiram para o mar. E dos que lançam para o ar. Precisamos dos pessimistas e dos consumistas. Dos que querem palhinha. E saquinho. E descartavelzinho. Precisamos dos que reciclam desculpas e mais coisa nenhuma. Dos que não querem e dos que não creem. Precisamos até dos que não fazem por mal.

Precisamos dos indiferentes. Já não dá para salvar o mundo sem eles.

Escolhe evoluir.

Motoko Hasegawa Title : Fly me to the moon Genre : Craft Birth: 1936

Change that art works have pull out, I am sure that people will live hoping to be happy. I am the same!! But com paring myself with others in daily life , finding my own faults …And embracing various emotions… jealousy and disappointment, sense of defeat, envy. Moreover, I even have disgust with even myself holding such feelings In that case, my work was my salvation. And that is the theme of my own weakness. When I confronted my work projecting my mind, I could make myself a little objective, and my mind got lighter … I gradually became able to think that all my thoughts are important. I can say that I am glad I was born now. I can not say that merely by looking at “art” negative emotions will soften and relax, but I believe tha t art is connecte d with diversity of mind and infinite possibilities. I believe that it is the role of art to be the reason for noticing so.
