Agonies of Peace
Soup Spoon, Pendant
Once a vessel of care and nourishment, the soup spoon is here hollowed out, its bowl carved in negative with the word peace in Hebrew, Arabic, and English. Transformed into a pendant, it can no longer hold liquid. What it carries instead is a fragile question: can peace ever be contained, or is it destined to slip away, like water through the hands?
