Through the earthquake, a Wish for Calm
Ei Ngwe Eain San
Acrylic
18 x 24
In this poignant painting, two crying children, siblings bound by shared sorrow, stand amidst the ruins of their home, a world shattered by the force of an earthquake. The devastation around them—broken walls, scattered debris, and the silent echoes of destruction—tell the story of a world torn apart. Yet, through the window behind them, a serene image of peace emerges. Delicate peace birds hang gently in the frame, their presence a stark contrast to the chaos, symbolizing the fragile yet enduring hope for a better future. The painting captures the raw emotion of loss while offering a subtle, yet powerful, message: even in the darkest of times, hope can take flight.
