Art was invented to communicate, to depict images of human beings, to transfer information about people, to communicate fears and desires that we carry within us, in all cultures of all epochs.

Globalisation has changed the form of communication but not so much the content. Technical innovations have allowed/enabled human beings in most areas to operate in varying events locally and in regard to content. Ideas of political as much as economic and religious nature are fused within the individual cultures, they connect and distance the human being stronger than ever.

The direction of the individual with a tendency towards paradox romantic views on nationalistic structures in the differing societies could be called a Global Fusion.

Small ping pong (table tennis) balls with the copy of the human being as a symbol for Global Fusion.
