“The mural is my interpretation of an ancient symbol of Peace, the white dove. Throughout history many cultures and artists have used the majestic bird as a powerful emblem of hope, purity, and freedom. However, in my rendition, it breaks through the peace symbol, symbolizing the need for action and struggle to achieve true peace in our world, rather than passive acceptance.”
