The Impermanence of Peace - Our Souls are United
Our souls are united in the perpetual search of peace, a peace often abused in its profound meaning and betrayed in the name of war. We use the word PEACE in a politically correct statement, to clear our conscience and deliver war in the name a r sls ar united in the grief, loss, pain, tears. Our souls are again united in chasing peace, hope, faith, and love. A perpetual circle that never ends, century after century, we repeat ourselves, and our souls remain united.
I used the language of flowers to create a mirror image between peace and war, a parallel reality representing our human duality. The flowers deliver hope that never dies, remembrance, compassion that recognizes the value of our united souls.
I wish peace through flowers, plants, earth and water, our silent companions that generate life. Despite all the abuse we inflict on them, they persistently whisper a message of peace and life, in the hope of breaking the circle of hatred, and reaching a common understanding that war is a crime against our souls.
