Mosaic is a symbolic metaphor and at the same time is a realisation and aims to overcome emotional brakes, fears, social distances, overcoming social prejudices, stereotypes, and stimulating positive emotions and needs for interactions, encouraging creative inspiration and stimulating optimism, a joy to life. Within the creative act, the age, sex, culture, religion, education, culture, national, racial differences are exceeded.

The social and historical environment in which the project is realisation is based on the violent experiential tradition of social, individual and historical facts and experiences of persecution, the closure of the area from which the fear originates as a cultural ethical psychological problem. Violent Immigration and Emigration condition the continuity of rooted fear and closure of yourself throughout the area. Liberation is essential to the human being. And just as man is a mosaic of diversity, which seeks to open and express, our mosaic concept has a tendency to return humanity through human creativity to human beings.

The mosaic is placed in the city in order to warn of the space of physical and psychological obstacles, and other historical obstacles, the city accumulates diversity, on the other hand it is the source of inter-human alienation, which is a common fear. How to creatively integrate diversity that eliminates unnecessary fear.

This mosaic is a mosaic of exceeding, it is a creative act that  awareness real and raises a real mosaic of alienation. The city is an expression of the contradictions between cultural diversity and the social, social alienation. The mosaic is the harmony of both, and thus overcoming the dichotomy and thus the contradiction. The mosaic creates a new entity of interpersonal relationships and living.

This project - Mozaik as a performance is deliberately placed in a public space, open to the action of all different participants. The public thus sensitizes for an unaware problem, and thus enables awareness and consequently liberation. It frees creative experience at both rational and emotional levels.

The mosaic thus opens up these received impeded brakes and at the same time opens  the way of awareness, the way to get rid of these brakes
