Quest for serenity

“Quest for Serenity” captures a poignant moment of tension and inner reflection. At the center of the artwork, a young Black child faces a symbolic choice: in front of him, a gun rests on an old table, heavy with threat and violence. In contrast, a white bird hovers, representing freedom, innocence, and the hope for a better future. The child, with a weary and contemplative gaze, watches the bird as a glimmer of hope in a dark and oppressive environment. This scene explores the universal dilemma between the temptation of violence and the desire for peace. The gun symbolizes the harsh reality and challenges the child faces, while the bird embodies the quest for inner freedom and spiritual renewal. The old, timeworn table evokes the persistent legacy of past and present struggles. “Quest for Serenity” is an invitation to reflect on the resilience of the human spirit, the exhaustion in the face of the world’s realities, and the indomitable hope of finding peace, even in the darkest moments.
