Marden Crunjer (Peru)

Monochromatic: “When I told my father that I loved in different colours, he replied that it was impossible. He told me, “Love has only one way of being and existing.’ This helped me understand that my father didn’t really comprehend the diversity love possesses. So I composed a song for him to colour his monochromatic thoughts.”- Marden Crunjen.
