It is well known that you do a lot of research
before starting a project. What did you learn
while working on the breast cancer awareness
project?
SS: Yes, I do a lot of research when I work on any
subject or theme. The breast cancer awareness
collaboration also is no exception. I learnt a lot
about the breast cancer, like how important it is
to get yourself checked regularly, keep an eye for
any sort of lumps etc. there are many resources
you can read online and get aware. What’s most
important is to be aware! I have read stories of
those who have gone through the trauma, and
how strong they became fighting the cancer. I
salute them! I cannot imagine the pain or the
emotional imbalance they go through, I can only
pray for them to get stronger each day to fight
and be the real winners and heroes!
Apart from learning about the cancer bully, I also
learnt I could Art direct. All thanks to Timanimal
for believing in me and trusting my directions.
With every collaboration, I go one step higher in
art. I learn so much working with him!
Why do you think people respond so well to art
when it comes to addressing social issues?
TG: I think the main reason why people respond
to art with social stories behind them is because of
the emotional connection between the eye & the
soul. We are the drivers of the emotional vehicle
of art & it’s our duty that the viewer really feels
the raw emotion of our work. When art is done in
such a manner that it impact the mental psyche
then that means the message is potently packing a
punch & the artist’s mission is accomplished.
Tim’s art has sent a message on everything from
drug abuse to dom
