The videopoem "For whom the sirens toll" was inspired by a poem written the day of the terrorist attack on UN Headquarters in Baghdad, 19th August 2003, in which twenty-two UN Staff members lost their lives.
Through universal language, the videopoem expresses fears and hopes of human beings beyond borders and age, finding the common thread of humanity. Accordingly, this delicate blend of images, music and voice conveys a message of hope, freedom and peace. The videopoem is dedicated to the victims of the terrorist attack and their families.
