Original artwork description:

This artwork explores the confrontation between aggression and peaceful resistance, prompting the viewer to reflect on the choice between violence and humanity. The composition highlights the contrast between two forces: the hand holding the gun symbolizes aggression, while the figure standing before it embodies a desperate yet defiant form of resistance through peace. The delicate flower in the gun’s barrel hints at an alternative response—one of love instead of bullets.

The dark silhouette behind the lighter figure represents either its shadow or a possible outcome—a symbol of the past that has already claimed victims. The red puddle and the broken flower on the ground suggest that the path of peace is neither the only option nor a painless one. At the same time, the outstretched hand reaching backward may signify an attempt at support or a signal of loss.

This piece raises a crucial question: Can we change the world without violence when faced with a gun?
