Peace Please

In a time when kindness seems to have lost its place, I felt the need to return to what is essential.
Peace please was born this way: from a simple request, handwritten, without noise. No shouting just two words left on a children’s chalkboard, like a message both forgotten and urgent at the same time.
I chose the chalkboard because it belongs to a language we all know: the language of first lessons, of things we learn even before we fully understand them. I believe that today, freedom and peace need to be placed back there, among the fundamental words rewritten every day. With humility. With care. For me, freedom is not noise. It is an empty space that can still receive. It is the possibility of asking without fear. And this photograph is my way of doing that. Of asking, with respect, for everyone. I did not want to construct an imposing scene. I wanted to leave space. Silence. A gentle question that remains even after you’ve walked away. It does not shout. But it asks.
