There are moments in history—and in the heart—when resistance takes the form of laying something down. Not in surrender, but in reclamation. This piece was born from that kind of silence. The aching, radiant kind that comes after too much has been lost, and something deeper begins to rise in its place.
We Will Fight No More is a sculpture-painting and prayer. It carries the weight of collective grief, the exhaustion of division, and the quiet strength found in choosing peace without erasure. Inspired by the words of Chief Joseph, it does not speak of defeat—it speaks of dignity. Of resistance that chooses healing. Of remembering the belonging that was never truly lost.
At its center, a sun halo with sundogs shimmers—light refracted through ice in the coldest skies. A ring of light encircles the core, whispering: we were never separate. The form holds both absence and presence, sorrow and vision. It is an offering to those who are weary of the noise, who feel the fractures of the world too deeply to name.
This piece is not an answer. It is an invitation.
To lay down fear.
To honor the sacred weight of memory.
To imagine a path forward woven with light, ancestry, and hope.
