My Four Reasons for Hope

The Determination of Young PeopleMy second reason for hope lies in the tremendous energy, enthusiasm and commitment of a growing number of young people around the world. As they find out about the environmental and social problems that are now part of their heritage, they want to fight to right the wrongs. Of course they do - they have a vested interest in this, for it will be their world tomorrow. They will be moving into leadership positions, into the work force, becoming parents themselves. Young people, when informed and empowered, when they realize that what they do truly makes a difference, can indeed change the world.

Florence Nightingale

Florence Nightingale, letter published in the Englishwoman's Review (January, 1869)

I have no peculiar gifts. And I can honestly assure any young lady, if she will but try to walk, she will soon be able to run the "appointed course". But then she must first learn to walk, and so when she runs she must run with patience. (Most people don't even try to walk.) But I would also say to all young ladies who are called to any particular vocation, qualify yourself for it as a man does for his work. Don't think you can undertake it otherwise

Space and Time Warps

"In science fiction, space and time warps are a commonplace. They are used for rapid journeys around the galaxy, or for travel through time. But today's science fiction, is often tomorrow's science fact. So what are the chances for space and time war ."

The Young Family

Patricia Piccinini's "the young family" use silicone, leather and human hair to create bizarre genetically engineered organisms that are different to what we know. Her artworks always reflect her concern about the environment issue.One big family is a major theme of this work. so I wanted to create a space was not big, but enough for her to move around to feel the theme expressed by the structure of the building.
