In this period of terrorism and violence, security is an important issue. People are scared and like to see men and women in uniform on the street. Everyone expects governments and local authorities to take care of security issues but you could do something yourself as well.
So I plan to raise an army of good intentions: THE GUARDIAN ANGELS. These guardian angels are recognizable by their special uniforms.
The uniforms of THE GUARDIAN ANGELS do not, as the uniforms of policemen and soldiers, symbolize authority and power. They have the same style as a military uniforms but they are made of cloth with a flower design, which reminds us of the flower power period in the seventies. There are male- and female uniforms in the sizes S, M and L. They were for sale in shops in Leeuwarden for € 69,95.


If you buy or wear such a uniform you buy an image of goodness and positive thinking and become a member of the army. You are also buying an artwork in edition and become part of the artwork yourself.
