Twenty-two years have passed since I designed the Please-Peace poster in 2001, highlighting yet another ceasefire interruption between Israel and Palestine, resulting in the tragic loss of thousands of civilian lives on both sides. In 2022, during the outbreak of the war in Ukraine, I adapted the poster by removing religious symbols and leaving the background blank to convey a sense of speechlessness. Do I need to create another version? Sadly, no. The latest version applies to any war, and is, unfortunately, infinitely recyclable.
