Description
"AK-47" is a thought-provoking charcoal and pencil drawing on paper by SN, distinctively adorned with mounted butterflies. This artwork presents a stark depiction of an AK-47, a symbol often associated with violence and conflict. However, the transformative touch in this work is the overlay of delicately mounted butterflies covering the firearm. This juxtaposition creates a powerful visual metaphor, contrasting the harsh realities of aggression symbolized by the weapon with the gentle, ephemeral beauty of butterflies, often seen as symbols of change and hope. Through this piece, SN invites reflection on themes of peace, transformation, and the potential to change narratives of violence into messages of beauty and renewal.
