Flower Power “Lady of Peace”

Our Lady of Peace represents a universal call for nonviolence, compassion, and unity. Her imagery draws inspiration from the peace‑driven social movements of the 1960s and 1970s, when symbols of love and anti‑war activism became powerful expressions of passive resistance. In this depiction, Our Lady appears as a hippie figure, embodying the spirit of those who protested peacefully and offered love, comfort, and solidarity during times of conflict.

The milagro charms placed at her base symbolize miracles, blessings, and unexpected grace. Traditionally used to convey hopes for healing, protection, and good fortune, these charms reinforce the sculpture’s message of optimism and faith in a more peaceful future. Each symbol reflects the cultural language of the peace era, echoing the well‑known emblems of hope, harmony, and the “no‑war” movement.
