Imagine molding a piece of clay and shaping it into a symbol of hope. That’s exactly what Lebanese ceramicist Samar Mougharbel did to mark the UN’s 80th anniversary of its founding 🎨🕊️. Drawing on her experience growing up amid conflict, she transforms clay into a powerful plea for peace.
For Samar, working with clay is more than art—it’s a form of meditation. As she presses, twists, and smooths the earth, she finds a quiet space away from the noise of war and daily worry 🧘♀️. "Real peace starts inside us," she says, reminding us that the world’s healing begins with self-reflection.
Her message to young people is clear: step away from the screens and touch the world around you 🌱. Reconnect with nature’s textures and rhythms, and let that connection guide you toward inner calm and collective peace. It’s a simple yet profound invitation to find freedom in the act of creation.
Through Samar’s clay creations, we see that art can be both protest and promise. As the UN celebrates 80 years, her work inspires a generation to dig deep, get their hands dirty, and build a more peaceful tomorrow—one piece of clay at a time.
