The Flag of Compassion was shown together with The White Shroud in the summer of 2008 at the international sculpture show in Sonsbeek, Arnhem, The Netherlands. On an 18 meter high pole it stood in the meadows among the cows near the park’s entrance, where the art exhibition meets the social life of the city.
The Flag of Compassion consists of an undulating golden yellow horizontal bar centrally placed on a white field. The colour white symbolizes purity, non-violence and peace. The colour golden yellow symbolizes the energy of life, (human) warmth and compassion, and the emanation of the positive forces of the human being.
The Flag of Compassion is not the symbol of a nation, institution, society, political party or religious conviction but expresses an abstract concept of a universal human value. It is a means for every individual to express compassion. See www.undafoundation.nl
