but so wonderful.
With the up coming 2008 Olympics set in China there have been questions as to the wisdom of that action. While I believe that having the Olympics in their country will be wonderful for the Chinese people there are those who do not feel the same way. But as I look around dA I see that there are those who are inspired by this development and are creating works of art that reflect visions of Asia. Though some are not knowledgeable of the differences between Chinese, Korean, Japanese cultures(and their subsets)it is a wonderful site to behold.
Our world has become more interconnected than ever before due to the internet. Trends that would otherwise be invisible to the casual observer are apparent on sites like this one. The majority of people want to feel connected to others regardless of race, background, or geographical location. Just as not everyone is one color or raised the same way no country is made up of one kind of person. Here, we are artists, poets, writers, hobbyists, crafters, tailors, sculptures. Not Asian, American, African, Australian, European, etc. We are simply people who love what we do and want to share it.
So. I'd like to ask any one who reads this, if you agree, to create something that reflects, if not Asia or China in particular, the unity of peoples signified by the Olympics. The world coming together to celebrate each of it's peoples' talents and strengths. Let's all show our talents and strengths to each other and anyone who cares to look. I for one would like to see them all. This is not a contest only something I think will have meaning. I'll and collect any pieces sent to me into a special folder. The Olympics end the 24th of August. Let's see how many we can before then.
