Time’s Up – No More Weapons
A vision for the final threshold.
We live in an age of fracture. Never before has humanity held so much knowledge, creativity, and technological power—yet never have we been so close to irreversible collapse. This visual manifesto was created to portray that threshold: a critical edge beyond which indifference is no longer an option.
The image shows a world split in two:
on one side, life—dense forests, vibrant greenery, natural harmony; only a few weapons, still possible to eliminate.
on the other, devastation—burning cities, apocalyptic flames, clouds of ash.
Across the center, in red and white: “Time’s Up – No More Weapons”.
Not just a phrase. A warning. A moment of radical awareness: the time for denial, delay, and delegation is gone.
I created this piece for the event noweapon.world, a platform dedicated to dismantling all forms of systemic violence—physical, political, economic, symbolic.
The world depicted here is not a dystopian fantasy, but a mirror.
It’s up to us to choose which side we want to stand on.
This image is a weapon against weapons.
A wound that speaks.
A threshold between the before and the after.
We cannot wait any longer.

NoWeapon.world – Mission:
A human-centric project for a world without weapons on the market
In an era where the arms industry profoundly influences geopolitics and global security, NoWeapon.world commits to promoting a radical change. Our mission is to create a world where weapons are no longer a marketable product, pushing the arms industry towards obsolescence.
We ask crucial questions: what happens when an industry produces weapons that cannot be sold?
How can a weapons producer ensure the sale of its products in a world that rejects violence as a solution?
Our answer is art – a universal language that transcends cultural, political, and social barriers. Through art, we aim to raise awareness, educate, and inspire concrete actions against the production and trade of arms. We firmly believe that art can be a powerful catalyst for change, capable of influencing public opinion and policies globally.
