'Look for the human in everyone you meet'
Artist Edie of edieart.com:
Different cultures, different religions, different colors, different sizes, different beliefs, different ideas and the list goes on...the only way to be is to be open, curious, accepting of each other's differences.
Take a group of people in your mind that you don't identify with, and imagine meeting a person from that group. Now imagine that you are both 4 years old. Our kids KNOW. they know to notice and name a difference, but not judge it.
They know to look for the human in everyone they meet.
But it's socialized out of us real quick- there's layers and layers and layers of indoctrination heaped onto us from birth. So many i dont even know. But i keep finding them, peeling them away.
Any title suggestions for this new painting are welcome! So far im thinking "differences"..."beautiful difference"...hmm?
