Peace in 10000 Hands

Hello, welcome and thank you for your time.

You can make a real difference to Peace in 10,000 Hands, the global art project for peace and charity, by donating whatever you can to our Boosted campaign. Every dollar helps!

Over the next 3 years we are going to photograph a single white rose; an ancient symbol of peace, in the hands of 10,000 people from every country on the planet.

As an artist I'm inspired by the belief that art is intimately entwined with the human condition and has the power to challenge and create change.

With a growing global following including many high profile celebrities  we've started a conversation using art and social networks that's creating a ripple effect around the globe inspiring this generation to think consciously about what peace really means to us.

Join us on this global art project and please donate today! It is a tax deductible donation.

My aim is to ignite all around the world the idea that art can inspire a change & the way we think, the way we act towards our loved ones, our neighbours and complete strangers.

Every dollar counts and every $100 raised means we can photograph one more person holding the white rose and takes another small step towards furthering this global ripple effect, and it is for this reason I ask you to please donate to our 'Boosted' campaign.

With your support through Boosted, we are aiming to raise $55,000 to help us complete the next chapter of the project and publish a book and help us photograph at least another 500 people from countries throughout Eastern Europe and South Africa.

Since the time of cave drawings, art has inspired and transcended the boundaries of language, culture, religion, time and space.  Images can break down barriers, move effortlessly across borders, speak profoundly to the heart of mankind and spark emotion and inspiration in every one of us.

I've now photographed over 1,350 people across 40 countries, ranging from The Dalai Lama to Ricky Gervais and everyone in-between; all holding the white rose. Archbishop Desmond Tutu & Sir Richard Branson, amongst others, have confirmed they will hold the white rose and this is the next chapter of the project you can support.

I'm constantly humbled to find that despite our differences culturally, physically, socially, politically & spiritually there is a quiet heartfelt desire for peace that we all silently share

Each of our actions and thoughts have a subtle, yet profound ripple effect. We are responsible for, and have the ability to choose, how we influence that ripple. The more we all think and talk about what peace means in our lives, the more the ideal of peace is bought into consciousness, and the more it will affect the way we interact with each other every day. We will increase the conversation around peace around the world.

When completed, the project will become a provocative and insightful contemporary art exhibition that tours the world and gives rise to a global conversation for peace.

Artworks from throughout the project are being donated 100% to charities focused on furthering peace through children's education, safety and wellbeing.

We are proud to have already raised thousands of dollars for Human Rights Watch and now Save the Children New Zealand is next!! And we will continue to donate to charities throughout the entire project.

Please join us in affecting the ripple and support us on Boosted. Every dollar makes a significant difference. Thank you!

Thank you for your support!

Peace
