paint on canvas; 17.5×12”
“Through this painting, I wish to convey the idea that peace must be protected. During times of war, the lives of people in a country are destroyed and soaked in blood. We witness how war turns human life into suffering and loss. The people long for a life without war, where they can live freely and peacefully like a dove. With the desire to protect their lives and safeguard peace, they reach out towards the dove, the symbol of peace. This artwork emphasizes that peace is far more valuable than war and that humanity can truly survive only through peace.”
