A Charity Auction for World Peace Day

Event location Online
In commemoration of the launch of World Trade Center XO WORLD Project on World Peace Day (“World Peace From World Trade” 9/21/2021), Daniel Anderson will auction the large scale sister sculpture, XO WORLD Project: ‘XO Play,’ which was simultaneously unveiled at the World Trade Center Oculus.
This artist’s proof for The XO Play sculpture depicts children engaged in a game of Jacks. The ‘X’ illustrates the Jack with crossed arms each representing the four pillars of XO WORLD Project - equality, unity, peace, and love; and also represents “Love” in sign language. The ‘O’ is represented by a globe bringing humanity together as one.
Reminiscent of childhood innocence and harmonious coexistence, it acts as a powerful metaphor of all races uniting, the accepting nature of children, and offers a vision of a better global society for generations to come.
This work will be offered at auction powered by The Auction Collective, to benefit the XO WORLD Project Foundation, a 501(c)3 entity that will advance Anderson’s platform for worldwide philanthropic initiatives.

Daniel Anderson's body of work focuses on the deconstruction, decomposition and redefinition of form. In his installations, such as XO WORLD Project: ‘XO Play’, he utilizes visual metaphors and symbolism - such as the ‘love jacks' (arms crossed to one's chest means ‘love’ in American Sign Language) the children in the sculpture are playing the game of jacks with - to communicate societal messages.
Art is a universal language that brings inclusion into the world and we are all one viewing, feeling and interacting with it. It is non-bias and nondiscriminatory.—Artist & Founder of XO WORLD Project, Daniel Anderson
