Peace Be Unto You

Peace Be Unto You depicts a young girl at the height of her awakening, discovering her newfound power as she flashes a bolt of lightning between her fingers. Tyrone Geter uses the raw immediacy of charcoal and layered textures to convey both fragility and strength—the innocence of childhood intersecting with elemental force. The image embodies resilience, survival, and the mysterious potential born in moments of crisis. As part of Geter’s broader body of African American contemporary art, the piece reflects his ongoing exploration of climate change, conflict, and the spiritual weight carried by the young.
