Wallpapers Wednesday : Art for Peace - Retired Weapons
One day when the people on Earth decide to live in peace with each other, hopefully tanks and grenades can finally become ornate flower vases. While I’m skeptical that this will actually happen, it’s not wrong to hope, isn’t it?
12 wallpapers in total from Retired Weapons, an art project intiated by Yuji Tokuda and Junya Ishikawa in 2005 and dedicated to promoting peace through art. Some of the more recognizable weapons of war below as converted into harmless flowerpots.

The flowers are a nice touch. Simple but really classy and meaningful.
I’m sure that they have good intentions of course, but don’t you find it interesting part that most of the images represent US weapons - the infamous AK is conspiciously missing.
