Artist Statement:
I started making mosaics about five years ago. I prefer to work in a mosaic style called “Picassiette”, or “Pique-Assiette”. In French, the name loosely translates as “stolen plate”, “broken plate”. The word “pique” can mean crazy.
In this mosaic I wanted to show “harmony” of all involved with Doctors Without Borders (D.W.B.). My thought was to show people coming together, hands outstretched to others in their time of need. The heart around the earth is the basic symbol of sincerity and compassion. The heart also represents the center of things. The butterflies are usually a positive symbol standing for the powers of transformation. And finally, the “Shining Stars” represent the significance of all involved with D.W.B.
