The World Turns Round and Round

Eye catchingly unique is an understatement for Nicki Weiss's The World Turns Round and Round. This is an outstanding representation of seperate worlds brought together in the American melting pot, a child's classroom. Symbolizing culture through several means, Weiss celebrates diversity through clothing, stamps, geographical, architectural and language differences. Despite their dissimilarities, a sense of unity prevails from the children knowing that "we're part of here and part of there and the world turns round and round".
