Nowadays in different parts of the world people can’t express their opinion. In some places you can’t say what you think about politics, in some you can’t speak your mind because of the exaggerated and escalating tolerance movements. Thinking about all this I created a collection of characters. Then I sent these illustrations to people who saw the concept for the first time and asked them to write a quote and background for each character. Something why he could be in trouble for. That’s when it all got out of hand, and some people wrote quite radically, some – funny, but no one knows what the future holds for us, we might not be able to say anything at all, even as little as in these quotes. I thought that if the project is about the freedom of speech, I will not rewrite anything, leave it as it was originally written. It’s not my position, or my beliefs, with some quotes I even strongly disagree, but if someone thinks that way – it’s not my right to judge or correct them
