Overview

WE THE PEOPLE model’s a world where empathy and mutual support enable people to flourish, leading lives infused with passion, purpose, love and creativity – a world of freedom, harmony, prosperity, and compassion.

Goals

The Concept: The overarching goal is to create community unity. WE THE PEOPLE is composed of adults and children, female and male of differing shapes and sizes - one is pregnant, one is in a wheelchair. Their vibrant colors symbolize all races. They have come together in support of each other bringing Doves of Peace to release.
The Vision: To join the community together to create healing and promote Oneness through a public artwork that features love, equality, unity, and connection.

The Objective: To install WE THE PEOPLE in prominent publicly accessible place. This interactive monumental public artwork models a world of unity and equality, promoting connection and inspiring a transformation in race relations.

Process

WE THE PEOPLE is a collaborative project of the Friends of Unity, Canneto Studios and Peter Stork.
