ExplanationKamal Ahmed is a painter from Lohajang, Bangladesh. The artist puts black crosses on the objects with negative meanings. Two youngsters are chasing after the flying notes and the black hands under the notes sticks a knife in a book, which is a symbol of peace and prosperity. The red arrow stabbing through a bird shows meaningless destruction and cruelty. However, no negative feeling is put on the boy in the center with the peacock. The peacock is a symbol of infinite beauty and the boy holding it shows the love for all kinds of animals and towards the people in different social classes.
