Finding Hope in a World of Conflict
This artwork shows three stories happening at once. On the left, a masked figure represents the crises we live through—pandemic, fear, uncertainty. On the right, a soldier and a frightened child holding a teddy bear remind us of the real cost of conflict. The dark, smoky background shows the destruction too many people face.
But look up.
A kite flies across the sky—bright, free, unbounded. And above it all, a warm sunset breaks through the darkness.
In the darkest moments, the smallest symbols of freedom matter most. A kite isn't powerful or loud. It's fragile, simple, and easily forgotten. Yet it rises. It survives. It reminds us that hope isn't about denying suffering—it's about choosing to look for light anyway.
This piece doesn't pretend conflict isn't real. The soldier, the scared child, the mask, the smoke—they're all here. But they're not the whole story. This artwork says: we can hold both truth at once. Pain exists. And so does hope.
If the world feels too heavy, if you're tired, if you've lost faith—this kite is for you. It whispers: tomorrow is still possible. Your hope matters. Keep looking for the light.
