Oil on canvas
2024

Hope for Peace (2024) captures a gathering of people as they protest against the recent conflict between Israel and Palestine. Here they have become one unified body and voice against senseless violence.

War and conflict are a regrettable part of our past as a species and unfortunately, continue to be part of our present. Few would disagree that peace is something we should aspire towards. This painting intends to remind us to reflect on the mistakes of our past and the now, to learn from them and not repeat them, as we work towards a future in which we can hope for peace.

This painting was included in my first solo exhibition Like Ships in the Night.
