His most recent series are called "Weapons of Light- The art of Peace". He cast the iconic AK47 in clear resin and names each one after a virtue. This conceptual series is a statement that all conflicts can be dealt with through peaceful means. This series DOSE NOT glorify the weapon but the weapon is transformed into a virtue. Into a "Weapon of Light"
This is about practicing restraint under provocation, using Charity, Fortitude and Love to resolve conflict.
