The Unbound thematic is born from Faith XLVII’s personal feelings of frustration of the social- political context of today. Watching the disharmony, the dismantling of human rights and the continuous struggle for equality is exhausting. The only way she can keep going is if she can transform some of this into her work.
Listen beautiful relax classics on our Youtube channel.
So the work stems from a place of discontent and begs the question of what direction are we headed in?
she spent time researching the symbolism of the white flag as well as the history of the Peace Manifesto.
Peace Manifesto’s have taken many forms, with voices spanning from the scientist protesting the use of the atom bomb, to greenpeace and worker parties to womans rights associations.
They formulated our own Manifesto, keeping the perspective as inclusive as possible.
For her, the main objective is empathy.
The location of the mural is in the heart of the tenderloin. This is a very desperate corner of San Fransisco with meth being dealt openly and heroine being injected right there on the pavements. Spending the week there was deeply saddening and further entrenched the significance of how much work needs to be done. There is a dire need for the funding of social series and mental health care in the USA. For humanitarianism of all forms. So first, we need to open the heart, and then we need to make social changes so that people have support the planet is sustainable.
It is not that she believe in an idealistic future, on the contrary she at times overwhelmed with cynicism. But despite this, she thinks that we have to push for the betterment of the future, for the sheer love of the planet and for each other.
The civil liberties that we have, were fought for and we need to be vigilant in this time to protect them.
The poetic versus beneath each flag are adapted from ‘The Cosmic Doctrine’ by Dion Fortune. The words speak of an existential search, for essentially, this is the root of our suffering and confusion.
