"We are members of the human community, inhabitants of a planet we feel increasingly proximate to and increasingly alienated from. It is a paradox of our time to address ourselves as global citizens and yet, to be as divided as we are from urgencies that test our humanity. I do feel strongly that the creative spirit, the capacity to imagine others in the dire circumstances of our time, is key to the responsibility we can and should take. To be one among many voices, within a community of concerned artists, addressing these global catastrophes, these humanitarian crises, is and will always be a humbling process for me.
It is a very heart-felt, courageous, poignant project. I am honored to contribute."
