Society for hundreds of years have been obsessed with images and how things are presented from the outside. We take a closer look by asking people from around the world a couple questions and then illustrate what they have told us. It’s like creating a VISUAL MOUTHPIECE for the people we meet. The idea was created by illustrator / designer / artist Wesley van Eeden from Durban, South Africa. The project’s focus is to paint and illustrate peoples points of view from around the world. Exploring themes such as where people get their hope, what are their dreams, what would they like to change in their town and what makes them happy. It aims to encourage dialog between different people and cultures and to give the person on the street the chance to tell the world how they feel about the fundamental issues of life.
