Unity in diversity; one nation spirit.

This is reflected in our interwovenness, the mutual respect and the acceptation of each other’s cultures. In Suriname for example, a synagogue and a mosque are located right next to each other. And when it comes to important occasions, multiple religious leaders such as a pandit, a priest and a shaman, are usually asked to contribute.

 

This ‘Alakondre’ feeling is the basis of my works.
