Prayer for Peace is a provocative sculpture that delves deeply into the complex emotions and experiences of a woman who surrenders and sacrifices herself for peace in her family. In this sculpture, the artist skillfully conveys complex themes and ideas that are deeply woven into his personal life journey, creating a work that is extremely intimate and emotional.

The sculpture depicts a female figure in an elevated position with her head slightly bowed, skillfully conveying a sense of deep and complete surrender in prayer. The hands and body of the sculpture further emphasize this portrayal, creating a highly emotional and expressive form that communicates the idea of sacrifice and dedication for a higher goal - peace.

The sculpture’s pose and facial expression reflect commitment to sacrifice and a determination to protect family peace. The depth of emotion that the artist conveys through the sculpture is truly impressive, and the universal message about the importance of peace and harmony in the family can be applied to all cultures and communities.

The sculpture is another example of Konta’s ability to express deep emotions and complex experiences through art, while at the same time conveying universal messages and ideas relevant to all cultures and communities. For lovers of figurative art, Prayer for Peace is a must-see work.
