(Kaarina Kaikkonen working on 'A Connection')
As you walk through the streets of Old City on the Green line (the physical boundary separating the Cypriot Greeks and the Cypriot Turks) in Nicosia, I came across 'A Connection' by Kaarina Kaikkonen. Instantly one recognizes the grasping cuffs of a variety of colorful shirts ranging in sizes and print. As I sat there was able to comprehend a connection between my travels and this installation. Understanding and accepting cultural differences and political/social boundaries are key when creating new multicultural friendships. These shirts distinctly allowed me to open my view of acceptance and start my journey in Cyprus within a refreshing light.
