Literature: Shepard Fairey is well known for his influence on street art and his iconic OBEY brand, and with this sculpture, the artist has created a powerful tribute to peace and creative diplomacy. 'Peace Fingers' symbolizes the art of finding peaceful solutions in a time marked by conflict, and the sculpture highlights these very messages in its clear and pure form. The sculpture, created in collaboration with BEYOND THE STREETS, is strongly inspired by Fairey's iconic 'Peace Fingers' graphic from 2006.

The message serves as a powerful reminder to encourage peaceful solutions in the face of today’s societal challenges. In exploring the deeper meaning behind ‘Peace Fingers,’ Fairey explains: “Peace isn’t about avoiding conflict; it’s about resolving disagreements without resorting to violence. Achieving peace requires more thought, more empathy, more diplomacy, and more creativity.”
