Support for Myanmar

Roses, notes and photos are not what you usually associate with pillars but for the past week, these items adorn a peace pillar by Myanmar students in Singapore Management University.



Initially designed as a peace pillar for the UN International Day of Peace, this pillar was modified to include notes of support for the innocent monks back in Myanmar who were suppressed by the military junta.



The pillar is named "The White Doves". The artwork on the initial pillar depicts a peaceful word - one without weapons and propaganda. At the lower portion are weapons shrouded in fire while the top portion has outstretched hands from people of various nations. The pillar was designed by 22 students from Myanmar.
