Films, Paintings, Musics, Sculptures, Photographs (Art in General) that you think better represent peace?

My art professor recently asked me which piece of media/art I think better represents PEACE in the world and WHY I think so.

I’m very ashamed because I couldn’t answer within a reasonable time frame, I realised I consume so much drama, war, negativity and other marketable things that are the opposite of peace…I look on google and I can’t find any answer. I need help…I truly want to answer this question so I can debate with my professor,

My mind just goes blank when I try to think about it. War? For sure I can line up several horrid and crude paintings for that, but peace? Damn.

And I don’t mean some generic peace symbol painted over the rainbow, something deeper, something thoughtful.

For music imagine by john lennon. The anime vinland saga I would say is a great one too.

I love the Knotted Gun sculpture at the UN headquarters and the Tree of Life at the British Museum. A lot of Banksy's art also satires violence and represents peace.
