"Cry
for Peace" was inspired by the events of 9/11, Debora
Gillman responded by creating art. According to
Gillman, "Arts are healing, both in the doing and the
sharing." The "Cry for Piece was entered into the
2002 Art in the Park Tallest Art Show in L.A.
Competition and was selected and exhibited in Los
Angeles. This work was the first in the series of
works she produced as a call for "the obvious need for
peace in the world."
"A Cry
for Peace" interprets the universal symbol for peace,
a dove with an olive branch. Below the eye of the dove
is a silver tear in the shape of another dove. She
chose to feature several colors
representing the beauty of diversity and difference,
of people coming together. The dual symbolism and
title of the piece gives depth of meaning to make this
striking combination of shape an color a powerful art
piece.
This
monumental banner is 25' by 14.'
