Acrylic, gold leaves on paper, 29.7x42 cm

A woman turning her back to weapons, symbol of war. A dove, symbol of peace, about to be freed.
Most of occidental societies are based on finding out the difference between each others and using it as an argument to feed fear, and violence.
“We should close our borders because they are different from us”, “we should attack because their difference undermines our foundations”, “we shouldn’t help because it doesn’t concern us”, "we should expel because they frighten us"
Opposition, difference and ignorance lead to conflict and war. An eye for an eye leaves everyone blind. Truth can never be imposed by force and ignorance but by healthy relationship based on respect, understanding and fearness. Turn your back to fear and hate, free the love within you. Free the dove.
