12×18 Mixed Media

This piece was born from a parking sign—an everyday symbol of restriction and control. I altered it to read No Bombing, flipping the “P” into a “B” as a direct confrontation of the world’s tolerance for violence against children. Below the transformed symbol, I stenciled silhouettes of children running—figures of innocence in flight—while one child stands, saluting, forced into a posture far too adult.

The accompanying video is raw, disjointed, and intentionally fragmented. The sign crashes against concrete, echoing the violence it speaks against. Overlaid sounds of bombs falling, children crying, and people screaming intensify the rupture—visually and aurally.

This is not a metaphor.

It is a plea.

A protest.

A simple message: Stop bombing children.
