PRESS PLAY FOR CHANGE
The CISV Asia Pacific Regional Workshop (APRW) 2012 was held in the Philippines and I took the opportunity to take portraits of these 150+ people from different parts of the world into a series of statements portraits. The theme of this year's APRW was "Press Play For Change" as a play on words of the PLAY button used in music players.

I had people complete the statement: "Press PLAY for/to ______________" with the blank as what change they feel strongly about or what they personally want to happen. I then supplied them with all sorts of paint and assorted brushes to paint it on a clear acrylic sheet with a large PLAY button to unify the portraits. After painting, I had them pose behind the acrylic sheet and "press the PLAY button" to start the change they want to make.

Thank you to CISV Quezon City Chapter (Philippines) and to all the people that helped make this concept a reality.
