Begging for Peace: Liberty in Front of the Ministr フォトプリント

A powerful image that contrasts two American icons—The Statue of Liberty, tattered and kneeling with a begging bowl, and the infamous Pentagon rebranded as the “Ministry of War.” This artwork evokes a poignant narrative: the spirit of freedom humbled, seemingly pleading for compassion or aid before the vast power of war. It highlights the perceived imbalance between military priorities and humanitarian needs, igniting a conversation about the choices a nation makes and their impact on its own ideals. The scene invites reflection on what is sacrificed when the language of war overtakes liberty’s promise.
