United in Diversity

United in diversity.
This is the title of my collage and at the same time the motto of the EU. I chose this title because it gives hope, which is also symbolised by the flame. It is still a small flame surrounded by flowers, it gives light and warmth and from this something beautiful and important can grow, namely peace, unity and diversity. The monument stands on a globe, which should underline the coexistence in diversity. The monument of hope is not always visible, but it is present in all of us. It connects us and shows that it is not necessary to build monuments of stone, but that we all, no matter how diverse we may be, carry the Monument of Hope collectively within us and have internalised it. If we draw from it together, we no longer have to just dream, but live our dreams. Only together can we take the step from stone monuments that remind us and give us hope to a better world together.
Empty Columns Are a Place to Dream. So let our dreams come true!
For me, collages are a way of expressing my ideas, wishes, longings and fears. It is a constant development and expansion of my self. This craft challenges and fulfils me. When I work on collages, I feel an inner strength that I want to express. Nothing is planned in advance, but the works develop in the situation-this is exactly what makes the process so exciting. Anything can happen and you can work on and with any material
