The central thought of the work titled "Propagation" addresses the individualistic and superficial way humans connect today globally through social media. It stresses that fundamental human bonds develop only through deeper understanding and respect for all diversities, thus propagating lasting peace and harmony to the whole world. The artwork depicts horizontal and parallel lines that intersect creating squares and rectangles of different sizes and colours, representing a rich global diversity. From those layers, two figures with closed eyes emerge; the one on the left representing the individualistic and superficial connection, while the central one symbolizes the fundamental connectedness of humans through respect, tolerance and deeper mutual understanding. The central dove, symbol of peace, is repeated all over the artwork as in a metaphoric propagation of harmony and stability.
