About Peaceful Explosion and The Pacifist: Both of these pieces I painted after hearing about some Muslim women who were being used as terrorist bombs. The flying birds taking the place of the bombs in these two paintings are meant to symbolize that instead of having wars, killing, and suffering, we women should commit to spreading peace, contentment, and prosperity.
