The world as a heart symbolises love for our planet, our environment, animals, trees and love of our fellow man; that means peoples of all races, religions, and nationalities.  The baby symbolises the innocence with which we begin our journey in this world, no matter where we come from, no matter what our religious beliefs and no matter what colour our skin may be.

I wanted to produce a visual concept for both children and adults as a daily reminder of the beauty and cultural diversity of the human race.  We are all basically the same except for the slight differences in facial features, the colour of our skin, the language we speak and the clothes we wear.  Although we may be of the same nationality, religion or society, every single person on this planet has his/her own individual character and is unique in his/her own special way.

My message is simple; we share this planet with beautiful, cute, unusual and sometimes, not-so-cute animals.  Everything that eats and breathes is part of our Earth, whether human, plant, insect or animal.  We are here sharing this space – our Earth.  Therefore, we have to respect each one’s place amongst us.  Imagine Earth without tigers, orang utans, pandas, rhinos, koalas, whales, jungles, forests, flowers, spiders, etc.!  It would be a sad and quiet place indeed,

The world could be a happier and healthier place if we would communicate with each other, be tolerant and more sensitive to people’s needs, and respect the fragility of this beautiful planet.  We are blessed with nature’s abilities to put forth beautiful flowers, trees, fruits and gems of exquisite colours.  We have to make this a better world!  Love, warmth and humility start in our heart.  We must take all that outside and make this beautiful planet a kind and gentle place.
