The main goal of this project is the interactive communication with the audience. As a whole, the combination between photos, words and colours will evoke someone's agreement or difference of opinion. It will provoke the spectator to look inside himself, reaching the depths of his hidden emotions, to find the answer how his own eyes will be estimated by the others. And this means new kind of look at life, new experience, smartness and willingness for a new type of communication, for care and tolerance to all other people.
