Peace

This final image is a mirror and inversion of painting number 1, "Play". In a once-desolate field, life now thrives: the plants are lush and children play with a ball patched with red cloth, watched by a multicultural group of adults. In the foreground, a lady offers a child a lotus flower with delicate red petals. The color red is no longer found only in a solitary scarf: it lives in the flowers, in the ball, in the clothes, integrating into a flourishing world. This is the future blossoming, where trauma gives way to a compassionate humanity.
