In relation to the video clip, Tunc expressed the following: "We produced this work in memory of the youth whose laughter was greeted under and gifted to the rainbow. Through their smiles and courage the world has breathed a sigh. To remember these beautiful people is a conscientious sensitivity. As a musician, I have only played a small part. If a painter plays a part, a poet another, then this resistance story can be completed." (HK/TK)
