I Am the Key to Our Peace
Medium: Acrylic on Canvas
Concept Origin: The key to our home’s door
This artwork presents a dove of peace, bound by a chain. It symbolizes the peace within us present, yet restricted. The chain doesn’t just hold the bird it represents the invisible restraints that prevent our inner peace from taking flight. The dove stands for the peace already inside us, not something we must search for, but something we must set free.
The painting reflects on:
-
What we lost yesterday
-
What we are facing today
-
And what we fear may come tomorrow
These are not just passing thoughts; they are reasons for us to raise and protect our peace. It’s a call to action: to unlock, return, and safeguard our peace together.
The key to peace is already in our hands. So, how will we use it? Will we open the door with unity and compassion?
You and I and everyone beside us can make peace possible. We can be peace as a nation, as a world. But first, we must ask ourselves:
-
What stole our peace in the past?
-
What threatens it today?
-
What fears cloud our vision for tomorrow?
The answers and the solutions lie within us.
The peace we missed yesterday...
The peace we hope for today...
The peace we dream of tomorrow...
The key to all of it is not far away. It is with me, with you, with us.
Choose the right key. Cherish it. Guard it.
Because peace starts here with me and with you.
Peace for us.
Peace for all creation.
