Illustrated hands release a rifle and knife, which transform into vibrant flowers, symbolizing a shift from violence to peace.

The image shows two human hands at the top of the poster, open and relaxed, captured in the very moment they let go of the objects they once held. From the right hand, a rifle begins to fall, and from the left hand, a knife drops downward. Neither weapon is drawn with sharp or detailed realism; instead, they appear as simplified, muted silhouettes, symbolizing how their importance is fading. As the objects fall, something transformative begins to happen. The dark shapes of the weapons slowly break apart, their edges dissolving into smaller fragments, and by the time they reach the lower part of the image, they have completely changed form. What was once cold metal has become a handful of bright, delicate flowers blooming where the weapons would have landed. The blossoms—soft yellows, whites, pinks, and blues—stand in clear contrast to the dull gray tones above, creating a visual shift from violence to peace. The background supports this transformation: the upper area behind the hands is shaded in darker, cooler tones, while the lower half is lighter and warmer, as if sunlight is spreading across the flowers. The entire scene communicates one powerful message: peace begins the moment we choose to let go of violence. See more
