Empathy--mental entering into the feeling or spirit of a person or thing.

An actor feels what the character he portrays feels.  He identifies himself with the character.  He thinks he is that character.
A famous Taoist philosopher of the 4th century B.C., Zhuang Zhou, thinks of himself as a butterfly.  He feels the freedom and happiness of the butterfly.
The tragedy of September 11 profoundly changed me.  A foreign student at first, who chose to reside in Boston, until 9/11,  I always regarded myself as a sojourner, a guest.  But during and after that horrifying tragedy, I felt for the first time that I was an American.  I am empathetic with the ethos of America.  I feel the pain when a solder dies for this country.  I cry with the family members of the fallen solders.  It is this feeling that compelled me to choose "Empathy" as the theme of this show. But of course, each artist has total freedom to interpret the meaning of the word.                                                                               Curator of the show
