#1000Kindness is a project that intersects reality, collecting and reassembling our kindness and compassion as a collective into a repertoire while touching the back-to-basics in all of us;
our “humanity.”
“It provokes the perspectives of the willing participant, by revealing the humanity of one’s relationship with one’s reality, opening up the viewer’s mind to new possibilities.” “What can I do / give” Instead of “What’s in it for me / What do I get out of it?”
Today #1000kindess installation art has visited 6 continents, 38 cities around the world, and has been seen by 7 million plus people.
For immediate release — November, 1 2017

A call action for pay-it-forward act of kindness
I want to do something to change the negativity, hate and fear that’s currently going on in our world. We need something to remind us that we are human and that we relate to each other more fully in physical proximity, not by the number of likes or how many swipes are available on our dating app algorithm or stats.
My hope for origami cranes is to create a bridge of human experience, seeing each other as human beings – not us and them! A Pay-it-Forward experience can help each of us see and treat each other with kindness.
Even though we have different world views / religions, together we can create a kinder human experience and peace for the world.
Hopefully, these cranes can act like a drop of water, sending out a ripple effect of positive experiences, and making our communities safer places.
