In this luminous sculpture, Jaime Velázquez reshapes the universal symbol of peace into a striking paradox. The bright white dove, rendered with smooth, radiant surfaces, seems to embody purity and hope at first glance. Yet tucked beneath its delicate form it carries a bomb—a stark counterpoint that disrupts the serenity of its flight. Velázquez’s vivid, high-contrast palette heightens this tension, fusing innocence with danger, harmony with fracture. The sculpture’s clean lines and glowing presence blur the boundary between tranquility and turmoil, urging viewers to confront the fragile balance between idealism and the realities that threaten it. Through this contradiction, the artist transforms a familiar emblem into a powerful meditation on the complexities of peace in a conflicted world.
