It's Magic!

'Magic Carpet'

December 2003


The magic carpet is a mandala drawn without any helping tools, that is why it started to float and bend.

I was painting it when I was with the Tan-Jus, the teenagers I work with during the Christmas and Summer holidays , and they liked it.

I would paint and one by one they would come, look and sit next to me and tell me stories of what happend in Tan-Ju, or in their lives, or what is bothering them.

I was just painting and then they felt safe to open up and share, and I did not feel like I had to answer them or give them advice.
It was such a nice atmosphere.

It was a great feeling, like I used to have with my mum when she was busy cooking and I would tell her all what had happened in school and with my friends.
