Morris Manser's collection speaks of a theme which, according to him, is one of the causes of many of today's problems: The loss of sensitivity to occurrences. People increasingly only register what is seen at first sight. Everyday life happens quickly, people consume situations, there is no time for a deeper examination. The people happen to remain in one's own observations and limit themselves to these. The individual point of view is seen as the only one or even as the sole reality. But according to Morris, everything is always much more than how you think you know it. Thus, we always know only a part of the truth, of reality, which is why his collection is a call for a more sensitive perception of what is happening around us. 

For him, Appenzell as a rural region in the east of Switzerland and the roots of his family is much more than the images in everyone's head. People's values of life seem outdated, but to him, they reveal themselves as those being close to his heart: The sensitivity to the individual next to you, without importance, whether human, animal or other living being. Each person is perceived and appreciated in their being. Life is lived more honestly, more slowly and more consciously, perceptions that are absent in the daily speed of urban regions.

For the development of the silhouettes, Morris took stereotypical elements from Appenzell anchored in our society and reworked them with his sensibility towards them. A sensibility he developed through the many summers spent in Appenzell. – What do the cows grazing on the lush green meadows of the hilly landscapes under a deep blue sky mean to me? What feelings were aroused by going barefoot to the farmer's barn next door to fetch fresh milk in the morning?

Morris shows vivid silhouettes that make the viewer pause, then curiosity arises. As you get closer, the qualities of the designs unfold. They make you want to take the time to discover the details crafted with love and devotion.
