She chose to portray a leaf in her design for the pin because once liberated the leaves symbolized rebirth as the survivors reconstructed their lives with hope. The peace dove symbolizes the desire for a world peace. Wearing the pin you are relaying the survivors' message you will help prevent such a tragedy from happening again. You will give the next generation hope that theirs will be a world of rebirth, a world where doves can fly freely Show more
