Symbolic Peace is a 10-foot-tall steel sculpture shaped as a peace sign—conceived under the creative vision of Mathew Rosenblatt and brought to life by the expert fabrication team at Liquid PXL. Each facade is laser-cut with a diverse collection of religious and non-religious symbols, reflecting the many paths toward unity and coexistence. By day, it stands as a bold, reflective form; by night, it transforms into a luminous beacon through an intricate internal LED lighting design.

In its next evolution, Symbolic Peace will be enhanced with two high-powered projectors and a custom soundscape to create a 10-minute audiovisual experience. This added layer breathes new life into the sculpture, allowing it to communicate through motion, light, and sound. Hosts will have the flexibility to shape the experience—whether as a whimsical and playful journey or a more contemplative piece that explores the complexities of our current global climate. This adaptability ensures Symbolic Peace can resonate deeply with audiences across diverse contexts and settings.

Symbolic Peace draws inspiration from the rich tapestry of diversity woven into our lives and cities. It serves as a poignant representation of individuals and communities coexisting harmoniously, transcending superficial differences. The sculpture’s profound aim is to contribute to the transformation of our world into a more beautiful place.

Having made its debut at Burning Man in 2018, Symbolic Peace has embarked on a journey, gracing various light festivals and winter celebrations across Canada and the United States. Its radiant presence has illuminated events such as the Toronto Winter Light Festival, The Christmas Market in Toronto, and the Winter Festival of Lights in Niagara Falls, captivating audiences with its message of unity and beauty.
