Dude, it´s me there! =)
About two months ago, Natasha, a designer from Australia emailed me
asking me for permission to use
this
picture of myself for a non-profit work her company,
www.redcreative.com was about to make. She
didn´t mention the details about the project but she told me that the
image was exactly what they needed and they were to use it in graphic
art (poster) and probably in the project website. She said that her
company uses to make some spare time to dedicate it to non-profit
projects in their community.
I accepted gladly, because from every point of view it looked great.
Not just flattering because they were asking for my photo, but for the
fact of being of help in a non-profit work. I was giving a hand, I
thought. Cool. =)
Yesterday, Natasha finally sent me a pdf file with the poster they
made. And this is a jpg image of it. I loved it as an artwork, but what
was really shocking was to get to know the subject of the project. You
can read it in the poster (
large
size), and you can also visit the play´s website
www.readmylips.com.au (I am there, too =).
Having myself faced in my childhood and early teenage years the
problems of the play talks about -and still fight, since it is conduct
pattern you are always in danger to go back to-, I find it incredible
that I was being the front cover of a project which main goal is to
spread the word about this kind of problems to help people suffering
from them, and their friends and families.
Life is bewildering at times. Today I find myself, without having
searched for it, helping a cause that is helping me as well to
vindicate and heal my own pain and wounds of the past.
I am forever thankful to Natasha, whom I told about this and yet can´t
believe about this invisible connection between me and the play, and
Georgia, the author of the play (which is autobiographical) for leading
this project, which I hope can help so many people suffering. So many
more than the many you can image. Unfortunately. =(
Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
