Kindness
Dandelion, Monument and Symbol of Peace and KindnessÂ
The image of the dandelion was not chosen by chance.
According to the artist’s website, the dandelion’s white flower head is composed of numerous small florets or seeds and at the slightest blow, they instantly fly apart releasing new shoots which is very much in tune with the idea of ​​the project: to sow good seeds throughout the Earth.
The sculpture is made of bronze. The dandelion’s flower head is shaped into numerous palms and open eyes which together make the shape of a ball, symbolizing the planet Earth. Widely opened eyes and palms facing outward signify sincerity and purity of intentions when we go toward each other.
The artist is also the founder and the president of the International Academy of Kindness.
