Make Love, Not War
Make Love Not War is an exploration into the question of why the existence and persistence of war, despite the universal human desire for love and peace.
While competition for resources, ideological differences, power imbalances, economic interests, historical animosities, and human nature are factors that contribute to the existence of war, it is essential to recognize that love, compassion, and the desire for peace are also fundamental human qualities.
The prevalence of war in human history should not negate the importance and power of love. Through the cultivation of love, empathy, and understanding, we can hope to build a more peaceful world. By addressing the root causes of conflict, promoting dialogue, and fostering a culture of peace, we can work towards a future where love and unity prevail over war and division.
“Make Love Not War” is a 30” x 30” painting inspired by the second bar lyrics of the song, “Art Bless America” by S.C.R.D. The canvas captures an analog to the digital and back recording process. The song was originally written in 2015, recorded in 2016, first published in 2017, re-published in 2020, turned into GAN art in 2021, and then re-imagined by MidJourney as a prompt in 2024. Finally, the underlying image was printed and repainted using spray paint, acrylic, and ink.
