I was very touched by both ideas, the perennial meaning of the heart and the „lost colors“ you noticed. Especially the latter… I could imagine this to be a great starting point for a novel, a song or painted artwork. There can be so much meaning in lost colors who could represent special emotions, memories (which are lost and now newly discovered, or forgotten memories which are connected to colors etc.)
But even more I am interested in this initiative you mentioned but could not find something about this. DO you have a link or some more information. For me art is always political and I love to read about others using art to form the world into something better.

Hi. At first I didn't know where to start and had all the meanings jumbled up...then I remembered that art is just that, a means of expression and each person gives it a meaning making the piece have a special value for whoever perceives it. The other thing was to capture the central idea in a single image. Here I had the idea of knitting an amigurumi of a woman with the appearance of a fighter and then I asked myself why a woman if violence is not a human action. And so I came up with something that identifies humanity in general, without restriction of age, gender, origin, social class, skin colour or anything else.
The #artesinviolencia initiative was recently launched by a group of young people who, through art and phrases, promote the recognition and reduction of all types of violence. Currently in many countries it is normalised to live in a violent environment and this must change for the better. Good vibes!.
