“I drew this picture to express the ideas of peace and justice. I have shown pigeons carrying guns and throwing them away, symbolising their attempt to stop war. I included pigeons in my drawing because they represent peace. Even though people continue to fight wars, the pigeons try to take the guns away from the soldiers to prevent violence. I used both warm and cool colours in my artwork. Warm colours are used for the warring soldiers to represent anger and violence, while cool colours are used for the flying pigeons to symbolise peace and calm.”
