Sweet Bird of Truth (Bradley Giles)

Sweet Bird of Truth stands as both memorial, warning and reckoning, a lament for lives consumed by conflict and a call to examine whether peace can ever be achieved when truth remains impaled upon the weapons of war. Painted in response to past and present wars, its message remains tragically relevant today. The impaled dove, burning White House, and countless dead symbolize the human cost of war and unchecked power. It is a plea for humanity to choose compassion, serious diplomacy, and coexistence before our own ambitions, greed, and capacity for world destruction consume us all.
