TO BE OR TO HAVE: INSIDE OUT PROJECT Paris

TO BE OR TO HAVE

Burning Borders and Building Bridges.....

 ..... is about creating an awareness by inviting people into each other’s different realities. We are all privileged in one way or the other; be it in terms of materialistic goods or intangible assets, such as spirit, soul, joy and happiness.

We built a bridge by putting 2 extremes that at first glance do not belong together into context. We confront 2 individuals that each have 5000 to spend: the woman going to Avenue Montaigne to spend €5000 on a luxury accessory meets 'Long life', 'Base' or 'Heaven gate' who has SLL 5000 to spend on his next meal. When building a bridge two far extremes are what give it balance and make it stand and sustain...

“To be or to have?” is he question we want to raise............... from Freetown to Berlin to Paris….

“Who is rich or poor?"

All is a matter of perspective....  

Looking into the eyes of these guys is a gateway into another reality- one that exudes victory and strength, one that is empowering and inspiring.

Sierra Leonean diamonds are always cut with fierce force. These boys are diamonds that have been cut......these cuts have been deep, painful and strong. It made them who they are and gave shape to something that is now being polished in order to shine and reflect the light in all its facettes.
