The collection //_I_OWN_MY_LIGHT_PINK_// carries as its core theme the concept of empathy. The basic idea is the influence that a conscious change can have in togetherness, in socio-political issues and discourses. Empathy is the willingness to recognize, understand and empathize with sensations, emotions, thoughts and personality traits of one‘s counterpart. An empathic discourse is characterized by respect for the human condition. It leaves the bastion of the ego and raises the counterpart to eye level.
