Description
The meaning behind ''i come in peace'' lies in its exploration of the unknown. How humanity often meets it with apprehension, yet the possibility of peace and understanding is always present. The alien represents both the external (the foreign, the strange) and the internal (our own anxieties, hopes, and capacity for compassion). The painting challenges the viewer to confront their fears of the unfamiliar and to see beyond the surface, where the potential for harmony lies.
In true expressionist fashion, the exaggerated forms and intense colors convey emotion rather than realism, allowing viewers to project their own feelings about what it means to offer peace in a world, or a universe, full of uncertainty.
