In the heart of Iowa, among the serene landscapes and vibrant community, Xene Abraham stands out as a beacon of creativity and peace. Known for her unique approach to art, Xene has embarked on a mission to redefine the symbol of peace through her nonprofit, Ageless Art Inc, which supports the initiative known as Project Create Peace.
Xene’s journey into the world of peace symbolism began with a deep reflection on the traditional peace symbol, one she believes lacks inspiration and carries unintended connotations. Instead, she has crafted a new symbol inspired by elements of life, growth, and renewal. “This symbol represents life,” Xene explains. “It’s about life, creation, and expansion, the concept that we can think beyond our current state to fix our problems with creativity and clarity of thought.”
Xene’s new peace symbol is not just an artistic endeavor but a philosophical one. It incorporates elements like ground, earth, or mass, the fountain of life, the tree of life, Fibonacci spirals for growth, and the lotus for rebirth. Each part of the symbol invites individuals to engage with their creativity, encouraging everyone to “create their own peace.”
Originally focused on local art therapy for the elderly, Xene’s vision expanded during the challenging times of the global health crisis. Transitioning from her nonprofit’s work in nursing homes, she found a new calling in spreading peace through art on a global scale. “I believe art heals,” she asserts, emphasizing the therapeutic power of creativity to enhance problem solving skills.
Xene is deeply committed to her community, not just through her art but also through her lifestyle. Living on a 20-acre property that hosts campers through Hipcamp, she combines her artistic passion with environmental consciousness, growing her own food and living sustainably. Her dedication to her art and community is palpable, making her a beloved figure in Iowa.
Looking forward, Xene plans to host an art show in September, coinciding with International Peace Day. This event will feature a juried show of the new peace symbol, aiming to spark discussions and actions towards inner and communal peace. Her goal is not just to display art but to inspire an art movement where peace becomes a valued cultural expression of our shared goals toward a more peaceful future.
Xene Abraham is more than an artist; she’s a visionary who believes in the power of art to transform lives. Her commitment to peace, community, and personal growth makes her a unique collaborator for anyone looking to engage in art projects that resonate with deeper human values. Whether you’re an artist, philanthropist, or simply someone who believes in the power of peace, Xene offers a platform where your involvement can make a tangible difference.
Xene Abraham’s story is one of transformation, creativity, and an unwavering commitment to peace. Her work with Ageless Art Inc. and Project Create Peace not only enriches the local community but also invites a global audience to rethink how we can contribute to a peaceful world through art and personal reflection. Join her in this inspiring journey towards creating a new symbol of peace for our times.
