every child is an artist
"There are only two services that images can offer the afflicted. One is to find the story that expresses the truth of their affliction. The second is to find the words that can give resonance, through the crust of external circumstances, to the cry that is always inaudible: "Why am I being hurt?" -Simone Weil-

Grey ?
Grey is a achromatic colour between white and black that exist in the state of great lightness. Caught between the lighter side of black and darker side of white, Grey is a shade of remarkable gradation. When two colours are mixed to produce a shade of grey they are called complementary, yet grey is its own complement. Grey remains grey when its colour spectrum is inverted, and therefore has no opposite and alternately is its own opposite.
What is "Lines of Grey" ?
Lines of Grey represent the street children who are a part of this project; each shade with its complex mixture of shadows, highlights and midtones. They are the product of economic and social injustice that is rampant in this world. These children are prisoners of prejudice, social attitudes and numerous negative associations. Just like the shade grey, these children live on the marginalized edge of extremes.
"A small body of determined spirits fired by an unquenchable faith in their mission can alter the course of history."
