The Terra exhibition gives voice to a vital ideal vision - the role of art in the creation of a genetic experiential code that links us all. In our global society, we have many different creeds and cultures yet, still we experience a limited mutual understanding. Regardless of the differences inherent in race, religion, nationality, or sex, TERRA draws a line of continuum exploring the commonality in all of us - citizens of one world - one earth - one human species. In that context Terra also reflects the universal source that unites humanity with the natural world, graced with species, elements and life forces, that sustain, protect us and link us to all living things.
George Bernard Shaw
