In 'SAVE THE WORLD' the artist shows how western people and organizations often feel the need to help others when a situation doesn't correspond with their own life expectations. The impossibility of really changing these situations according to a western standard and all the consequences and (mis)communication this can generate, is the central point of research within this project.
