Pangea Sunrise - One World One Dream

225 million years ago, all our continents stood together as one landmass – the supercontinent Pangea (Greek for all lands). Today, it's a divided planet we live on. A planet so over-wrought with divisions that its inhabitants base their identities on them. The geographical borders were a precursor to many more divisions to come – political, economic, racial, ideological, social, religious.. the list goes on. If we looked beyond our differences we'd be able to see the infinite commonalities we share as members of the one true race – the human race.

The cartographic metaphor is used here to mirror an aspiration of the young, united in their vision of a world where people see themselves in each other, where the 'we' is not segregated into 'us' and 'them'. The kites, symbolic of the zest of youth, soar together re-enacting our past geographical unity, as a reminder of how we started out and how far away we've come.

Divided as we are, by innumerable borders and differences, we can still unite in the hope that that humanity's dawn of realization will happen one day, and the sun will rise on a united planet.
