we don’t have to be afraid of it</span>”<br /><br /><br /><br />Beyond the visual impact, the titles of these pieces convey a metaphoric intention, guiding and inspiring noble attitudes in our community.<br /><br /><span style="font-style:italic;">Anticipation</span><br />Promoting the necessity to be aware and conscious of the impact of a growing population on our environment, and to change the way we do and look at things, for future generations.<br /><span style="font-style:italic;">Perfection</span><br />Inspiring excellence in our acts, such as social decisions, education, design, and art, as they are what we carry into the future.<br /><span style="font-style:italic;">Ascension</span><br />Not thinking only in terms of immediate profit, but rather sharing vision, knowledge, and joy for the next generations.<br />These 3 art pieces use the primary colours (we put them first on the art palette to create a masterpiece…)<br /><br />“<span style="font-style:italic;">I hope they will inspire my community, in their everyday trip, to share an optimistic vision of the future, with joy and determination, to build it like an art piece, with a responsible and thoughtful attitude</span>."<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1636637502654166189-6202776303840039466?l=public-art-sokazo.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>PHILIPPE SOKAZOnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1636637502654166189.post-83218233210935163742010-02-12T15:03:00.000-08:002010-02-12T08:59:49.953-08:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_vIXdSnGJwS8/S2ieTgHzHyI/AAAAAAAAAgs/xrWAtmQdE5k/s1600-h/Sokazo+Sculptures+.jpg"><img style="display:block;
