This is my art installation for ONE BILLION RISING, a call to action based on the staggering statistic that 1 in 3 women on the planet will be beaten or raped during her lifetime. It is an one-day-only event that is happening on Feb 14, 2019, the seventh year where men and women in Second Life will join activists, writers, thinkers, celebrities, and people across the world to Rise, Resist and Unite as a show of unity, individual strength, and the need for change.

My Artist Statement:
My artwork for One Billion Rising tries to capture the moment when a person who has endured rape, sexual abuse, or violence of any kind finally breaks free of the pain that they've experienced, be it physical or emotional. The rising hand-drawn particles of women floating up is a literal interpretation of "one billion rising", as they join in the collective celebration to end the abuse and suffering, rising from the darkness of their painful past. I made each particle to be scaled to our human size so that they are more relatable, and visitors could feel that they are a part of the collective.
I really wanted to give the feeling that pain or abuse - represented by black splotches in the background and on the 3D hand sculptures - doesn't have to last. This is especially expressed in the animated textures on some of the hands, representing change. As we grow as individuals, the pain that has been brought on us takes on a different form, one that can unite us to become stronger than who we used to be.
Young children with face paintings pose for a photo during the World AIDS Day awareness programme. World AIDS Day, celebrated annually on December 1, is an opportunity for people around the world to unite in the fight against HIV, to show support for people living with HIV/Aids and to be united.

Winchester Cottages in Copperfield Street, Southwark were built between 1893 and 1895 as an early form of social housing. The person behind this, and other similar nearby dwellings, was Octavia Hill who was an English social reformer. Her main concern was the welfare of the inhabitants of cities, especially London.

I know I'm a day late and a dollar short but here are my annual "Awareness Troopers" for this October. Arealight's super awesome one-off helmets inspired me to make these two specifics figs. I also used Arealight's printed curved torso for Sabine. I hand painted some silver & pink onto the jetpack and the rangefinder before I added Fineclonier's decals to finish off the fig. The RC came together real quick too. Fineclonier under printed the blue so it pops against the pink so well! CAC's pink sniper rifle was a freebie I got with an order and it was the perfect accessory to go with this troop!
Mindfulness is the energy of being aware and awake to the present moment. It is the continuous practice of touching life deeply in every moment of daily life. To be mindful is to be truly alive and present with those around you and with what you are doing. We bring our body and mind into harmony while we wash the dishes, drive the car or take our morning cup of tea.

Photographic Society of Madras, a 150+ years old photo club in Chennai, organised a photowalk on a Car Free Sunday at BesantNagar, Chennai. There many life saving and health awareness campaigns were going on and the above image captured while the public were taught the Cardio Pulmonary Resuscitation technique. Even the slum children showed keen interest. More than understanding the technique the message would reach the base level people.
which is an annual campaign to increase awareness of the disease. While most people are aware of breast cancer, many forget to take the steps to have a plan to detect the disease in its early stages and encourage others to do the same.

на высоте ведя сраженья,
скандальный дуэлянт, весь в дырах,
смиренным на земле гниеньем
не может жизнь свою окончить -
он осени дуэль назначил.

I'm not aware of too many things
I know what I know, if you know what I mean
Philosophy is the talk on a cereal box
Religion is the smile on a dog
I'm not aware of too many things
I know what I know, if you know what I mean, d-doo yeah
Shove me in the shallow waters
Before I get too deep
What I am is what I am
Are you what you are or what?
What I am is what I am
Are you what you are or .....

"When one past thought has ceased and a future thought has not yet risen,
in that gap, in between, isn’t there a consciousness of the present moment;
fresh, virgin, unaltered by even a hair’s breadth of a concept, a luminous, naked awareness?
Well, that's what naturally peaceful awareness is. "

There is a popular saying: “With the truth, a person can go all over the world.” The Baal Shem Tov explained, “That’s because he will get thrown out of one place after another” (Toldos Yaakov Yosef, Bo, 46b, cited in Sefer Baal Shem Tov, Vayeira 10).

Falls Meditation von Interesse ist.
Meditation erscheint von außen betrachtet als ein stilles Sitzen in Gedankenlosigkeit.
Aus der Innenperspektive betrachtet ist es eine Veränderung der Schwingung des Bewusstseins. Die Aufmerksamkeit verändert sich und mit ihr das Spektrum der Wahrnehmung. Persönliche, emotionale, intellektuelle und körperliche Dinge treten in den Vordergrund und werden häufig erst jetzt wahrgenommen. Nachdem all diese Dinge erkannt und gewürdigt wurden kommen die Wogen des Geistes zur Ruhe und die See wirft keine Wellen mehr. Die Oberfläche ist still und spiegelt den klaren Himmel.
Diese metaphorische Umschreibung besagt, dass die Wogen der Emotionen den Geist nicht mehr wirre Geschichten spinnen lassen und ihn leid- und sorgenvoll beschäftigen. Der klare Blick wird nicht mehr durch Emotionen verzerrt.

Let us not look back in anger or forward in fear, but around in awareness.

This figures are part of a prostate cancer awareness campaign.
Prostate cancer is the most common cancer in men.
October is Breast Cancer Awareness month.
The annual international health campaign organised by major breast cancer charities every October to increase awareness of the disease...
I think by now everybody knows or sadly has somebody...
Breast cancer is about 100 times as frequent among women as among men, but survival rates are equal in both sexes.
Please think about making a month long commitment to sharing your pink photos during October!
I upload this especially for this cause, thanks, M, (*_*)
