My opinion is: The Artists Christian Pietratpiana brings forth the very current topic joining art and the current international affairs in his exhibition on the Frailty of life. Art brings a connection of mental image and emotional quotient to a discussion about life. Art projects like this in the age of intolerance is a welcome relief valve.
