Joel (1994) (Wales, UK)

Something that reminds you of living, being at peace, feeling happy:

Lego? Is that a good answer? Climbing and just generally being outside.

What’s your first memory as a child?

Maybe picking Harry up when he came home from hospital after he was born… in the carseat and  I carried him around the room. I think I liked it, having a little brother. Not anymore. He’s a pain now, isn’t he.

What reminds you of being a child (younger)?

Umm… I don’t know…My old camera. It was  a small one… a digicam.

What pictures or thoughts come to mind when I say these following words?

Protest/to protest: Black Lives or Black Lives Matter. ‘Cause there are lots of protests happening recently.

Power: Donald Trump. Because he’s a really powerful man, isn’t he. I mean that in a bad way. Probably the most powerful man in the world…

Is Power good or bad, how do you see it?

It depends… depends who’s using it and how they’re using it.

Society: Government. The Government has control over society. I see it in the news.

How do you see the world in 50 years? (realistically)

Really hot, lots of people… quite crowded. Not as much greenery. Different kind of weather. Not so much rain. 

You’re saying this because of global warming?

Yeah, the summers are already getting hotter. And there’s not as much snow in the mountains.

What does “being” human mean?

Having fun…and surviving.

What do you believe in?

…Nothing. Being nice… No, I don’t believe in anything… Just be nice, don’t do horrible things…basic morals.
