An art movement for social responsibility

In response to current turmoil, I seek to encourage human unity and compassion and so I focus on what all the world's peoples have in common.  Among other significant commonalities is that we are residents of the same planet. Every nation, state, and city has a flag as our symbol of cultural significance. Each of our nationalities is also part of a larger additional identity. My planet Earth flag represents the conceptual essence of Earth and is an emblem to recognize our shared home.


About the flag design:
Joyce Audy Zarins' Earth flag design with blue bands top and bottom for sky and water and green at center for land separated by wide straight and wavy white lines. Off center is an egg shape representing organic life, including humans, whose lives depend on Earth.
blue = sky and water
green = land
white = air and hope
egg = life forms, including us

The egg balances on its smaller end since life is precarious. The egg is not centered since we are not central to the environment, only a part of it. Land, air, and water are also within the egg because we all contain and depend on these critical elements. Hope is also necessary for survival.
