JUURET

The theme of the MCD 2011 street art project was peace. Word peace brings to my mind roots and rooting. When people are forced to leave their home place, roots, it usually causes problems and conflicts. On the other hand, stable rooting to some place can also cause prejudice and racism: I came here first, you do not belong here. But, at its best, rooting creates peace and respect towards the environment around. When you form roots like that, you see your home district as the most precious thing, respecting it with peace and love.
