My performance is based on Yoko Ono on her “Imagine Peace” Project. I got inspired to do my project based on this because I see how countries are suffering, the community, many people are facing personal problems that can’t even have peace within themselves. For example Palestine is going through such a horrible time now and all we see is babies dying, families dying and animals, palestinian don’t even have food for them. It is not fair that there is so much money for other things but we can't help Palestine that is in need. It is world wide that is going through “war”, I wanted to bring out peace awareness, and let people express their feelings. Harmony in the world means being nice to everyone and working together to fix issues without fighting. By communicating with one another, appreciating diverse viewpoints, and lending a hand to those in need, we can achieve this. It is important to take on injustice and show respect for all individuals, no matter who they are. Through cultivating peace and working together, we can build a more joyful and secure global environment appropriate to peaceful coexistence.
I decided to go outside and ask people to draw or write their visions of peace, I gave them a market so they could express their emotions, hopes and dreams. Many people didn’t want to do it, and many ignored me, and others were willing to get recorded and others did it but without getting recorded. For someone that is an introvert and is hard to approach people it was really challenging, and uncomfortable, but at the same time I felt good that I was doing something different. It took me around 2 hours walking around asking people if they wanted to help me do a school project. It wasn’t easy at all. Something I got from doing this project is that now days we avoid to talk to strangers, and be social with others, I believe this happened after covid 19 happened everyone stopped being social, ans scared to meet new people since there is so many violence happening, human sexual trafficking, It is so understandable to not let a stranger record you because who knows what would they do with those videos.
Imagine if we actually bring peace to the universe, Imagine if we actually bring humanity back and we protect one another, we don’t let war to keep happening, we stop harassment, child sexual abuse, hate, starvation, animal abuse and many other bad things that we see on our daily lives. It seems like something so hard to do because we can’t ever have actual peace in our universe, but I believe one day we will be able to have actual peace. I believe our universe is in need of love, there are so many people that have an empty soul and heart, and that affects our community. People all over the world are still moved by Yoko Ono's "Imagine Peace" project to think about how important peace is and what they can do to promote peace and integration in their own communities and beyond. Through her lifelong dedication to peace action and artistic expression, Ono's legacy shows how art has the power to change things and make the world a better place for everyone.
