Wouldn’t it be nice if we had a flag to represent “the whole of humanity regardless of borders, skin color, sexuality or other labels”? In an installation that he created, the Netherlands-based artist and designer Sven Signe den Hartogh featured his flag design for humanity — a literally transparent flag, which represents the balance and equality in the world.
The project, entitled ‘Usawa’ which means ‘balance’ in swahili, was developed in close collaboration with museum Ijsselstein, a museum for modern art in the Netherlands.
‘It is my goal to spread the ideas behind this,’ the artist explains. ‘And to raise the ‘new flag for humanity’ in many places in the world such as schools, museums, government buildings and other inspiring places to show that we are all equal and that these ideas can hopefully help restore balance in the world.’
What are your thoughts about this one?
