Authors conception:

From our birth to our present state we experience countless physical and mental changes that make us what we are. Everyday life and various media overwhelm us with a lots of information that shapes us a little or not to its requirements by making us consumers and everyone is what it consumes.
We all want a better world, but we all want it to change by itself, and that is not possible. In order for the world to change, we need to start changing ourselves by changing our way of thinking, which will change our way of doing so - until we reach our ideal world. Everyday life in which we ​​live in, problems, stress distract us from the right path.
The questions in the exhibition are not accidentally set, in order to can affect for a longer time. Will it be enough to change the surrounding reality? It depends on our desire and capabilities of each one of us in this society, but most importantly, everything depends on ourselves.
