Posters For Peace

From Within, 2017.

This was my submission for a Posters for Peace Contest organized by Sid Lee; winners are displayed at the Bed-In event on September 21st during the International Day of Peace. I was inspired by recognizing that peace and freedom begin from within. We can't control external forces but we can choose how to respond / behave to what is going on around us. Ideally, we should aim to be unconditional love; love reverberating throughout time and space. I play on this idea of the inner self and how it can influence the environment we live in. When we achieve internal stillness, we can create unity with humanity when we are the change we want to see. 

I've redefined the wifi symbol, making it symbolic of an outward reach. The water fading out from dark ripples to this serene brightness is representative of enlightenment.
