This large scale peace sign - 11 feet wide and 5 feet high - is constructed out of 20,000 toy soldiers, emphasising the irony behind nations engaging in war as a supposed method of achieving 'peace'. The sculpture is created in an attempt to develop the perspectives of those viewing it, and aid them in realising the 'bigger picture' behind it; when viewed from afar, the sculpture is a peace sign, however from up close it is apparent that the sign is made using miniature toy soldiers, sending the message that war itself should not be viewed on the surface, but rather it should be examined in order to realise the true motives behind it.
