As we celebrate the International Day of Peace on September 21st, we are proud to align with this year’s United Nations theme: "Cultivating a Culture of Peace." At The Non-Violence Project, we believe peace is a lifelong practice, built through education, understanding, and the values we instill in our youth and communities. Today, we are thrilled to introduce a remarkable new artwork that embodies this vision—"Fragility of Peace" by our Non-Violence Ambassador, Shai Dahan.
Shai Dahan, an acclaimed American contemporary artist and muralist, is widely known for his dynamic large-scale art pieces, including the world’s largest 18-meter-tall Dala Horse in Manhattan, NY. In 2024, Shai was appointed as a Non-Violence Ambassador for Peace, and his commitment to promoting peace through art has been extraordinary. Earlier this year, he created his own interpretation of the iconic Knotted Gun, with the original sketch being auctioned at a vernissage to support The Non-Violence Project.
Shai then brought his vision to life during a live-painting event in Malmö, Sweden. Over three days, he transformed a 100 cm Knotted Gun sculpture, moving his work outdoors to engage with the public on the streets of Malmö. His design, "Fragility of Peace", crafted to resemble porcelain, symbolizes the delicate nature of peace.
When asked about his artwork, Shai says, "Peace is fragile, and as long as we tend to it and take care of it, hopefully, we can preserve it for future generations." This powerful piece serves as a reminder that peace, while vulnerable, is something we can nurture and protect through our actions and choices.
"Fragility of Peace" is a hand-painted resin sculpture, available in a Limited Edition. Each piece comes with an exclusive gift box and a certificate, making it not just a beautiful piece of art but a meaningful contribution to a global cause.
By ordering this limited-edition sculpture, you are not only supporting Shai’s powerful message but also helping fund our mission to educate young people worldwide on peaceful conflict resolution. Every purchase directly supports The Non-Violence Project’s work in cultivating a culture of peace in schools, communities, and workplaces. Link to order the Fragility of Peace
