Bullet Bird

Acrylic on canvas

50 x70cm

Two bullets crossed paths in the sky above Gallipoli — not as foes, but as fated kindred. They halted mid-flight, not to shatter, but to entwine, to rise. Together they drifted, like a lone bird in the heavens of gentlemen, a hushed emblem of peace, forged in the furnace of war.

As Atatürk said: “Peace at home, peace in the world.”
