give peas a chance

Give Peas a Chance offers a lighthearted reprieve from the seriousness of the world. Inspired by John Lennon’s Give Peace a Chance, the work began as a reflection on world peace and the seemingly widening gap between aspiration and reality. From there, the idea evolved into a playful visual pun that took on a life of its own, using wordplay and tactile charm to restore a bit of balance and sanity, reminding us that sometimes the most welcome relief begins with a little legume-based humor.
