“Non-Violence” (also known as “The Knotted Gun”) is a pro-peace sculpture by Swedish artist Carl Fredrik Reuterswärd, designed in late 1980 and inspired by the shooting death of his pal, John Lennon. It was given to the UN by the government of Luxembourg in 1988.
What I see when I look at this sculpture is someone trying to say NO to violence. I see someone who doesn't believe that using a gun is something necessary. And I agree 100% with them.
The sculpture depicts a 45-caliber revolver with its barrel knotted into a bullet-blocking twist, an idea normally confined to 2D reality in newspaper editorial cartoons.
These are just a few other Sculptures I liked:

This beautiful picture is street art. Not just any street art, but street art done by Banksy. Banksy is arguably the most well-known street artist in the world. Some pieces of his urban graffiti art, with its distinctive stencil style, have sold at auction for as much as $500,000. This piece was first put together on a random wall, with stencil.
When I first saw this picture I wasn't sure how to perceive it. I loved the image, but I didn't know if the meaning I had for it was the right meaning. Later I found out there was no specific meaning to the picture. Banksy did a broad picture and let people decide what THEY felt when they saw it.
The words "there is always hope" are written by the image and is a part of the whole image. Some people see it as you're trying to catch something ; dreams, hope, ect. While when I saw it I saw that you had to let go of negativity to let the good things come. And while doing that "always have hope".
This picture has a lot of meaning to me, I even have it tattooed on my body. And what I love most about it, is the fact that two different people can look at it and see two different perspectives.
