Amidst Singapore’s vibrant cityscape, at the National Museum, stands the Let There Be Peace sculpture. It’s a striking three-meter-tall bronze creation by Alexandra Nechita. The Let There Be Peace sculpture captures a powerful moment. A seated woman gently cradles a pair of doves hatching from their eggs. This artwork isn’t just about aesthetics. It carries a profound message of peace and hope. Nechita, a Romanian-born American artist, was named a UN Ambassador for Peace in 2001. Inspired by the tragic events of 9/11, she envisioned seven peace monuments. The Let There Be Peace sculpture in Singapore was the first of these monuments to be unveiled. It was originally displayed at the Istana in 2005, unveiled by President S.R. Nathan. The sculpture was later moved to its current location at the National Museum. The Let There Be Peace sculpture echoes a lithograph Nechita created in 2001, also titled “Let There Be Peace.” This lithograph was used by the Red Cross to raise funds for 9/11 victims. Nechita’s art speaks to the power of individual actions and intentions in shaping a more peaceful future. The Let There Be Peace sculpture stands as a testament to this belief. It invites us to reflect on our roles in building a more harmonious world.
