They teach us that unity is a powerful strength and, at the same time, the ultimate goal that we, as humanity, are moving to, the solution to our social issues as a humankind. The Iranian Bahá'í community comes demonstrating this fact since more than a century ago. I also have to say that Shahriar's genious is a powerful gift that God gave him and that he's using wisely. Through it, he could unite people from many countries, people who even didn't know about each others' existence, and gave us the opportunity to be part of an art work and, at the same time, do something real and effective to promote human rights. Now, thanks Shahriar's efforts, in Argentina more people is aware of the persecutions against the Bahá'ís in Iran, and I can proudly say that I'm a little part of two of these six beautiful Shahriar's artworks.
