Unity: 2016 Word_Year, Stockholm, Sweden

“So Powerful is the Light of Unity that It can Illuminate the
Whole Earth.”

– Bahá’u’lláh –

This image was captured close to three decades ago in Millesgården, Stockholm, Sweden; I felt the artist Carl Milles’ Angels captured the principal energy for our 2016 Word-Of-The-Year: Unity.
In the mid 80’s; we were art students, young, free and off the grid. Today; we look to return to more simplify life by sharing more happiness and peace with our grown families, maturing friends and global communities.
About the Image:
The Hand of God: “A small man standing in a large hand. He looks upward and his body is tense, his fingers spread wide. Granted, he balances on the thumb and forefinger of the large hand, which seems strenuous. But his focus lies elsewhere. The man´s attention is directed toward something in the heavens, as if he were receiving a message or carrying on a conversation.” Click to Learn More.
Today, the conversation is possibly about building more harmony with our differences, more celebration of life… More Unity.
Video Presentations – The Word-Of-The-Year Series:
Since 2001; each year we select a word that we feel best represents the upcoming year (i.e., 2016). We then search a mantra which best encapsulate our Word-of-the-Year and we then create a framed photograph (for our clients and stakeholders) and (time permitting) a video presentation for the public.
