As someone who creates in order to tell stories to move and inspire people I've had to study many facets of human behaviour. Violence and tragedy often go hand in hand and yesterday during the Bastille Day celebrations an otherwise ordinary vehicle was turned into a weapon in its use against the citizens of France. The violence was indiscriminate and without direction it had only the cause of terror. Showing unity with another country and its citizens is about not yielding to that terror and this image is about commemorating the civilians who are laying down their lives without the knowledge they are doing so just by exercising the freedoms all of us use every day. I am aware that there are terrorist actions that take the lives of citizens in numerous countries all over the world and it troubles me that some citizens lives are not reported with as much vigour as others. I do not want my commemorations to be about a few that the media select I want them to be about every innocent who has been taken from the world early and the country that has lost them. If you do not see me commemorate a loss of life I may not have heard about it, please contact me and send me a link to a reputable news source and I will follow up your e-mail. Thanks in advance to those of you who help me in this endeavour to remember all the people who lose their lives to indiscriminate violence.
