FREEDOM
This graphic work by Alberto León, with a strong symbolic charge, critically addresses the death penalty. In the center, a white dove—a universal symbol of peace, innocence, and freedom—sits inside a hangman’s noose, an iconic instrument of execution. The dove holds an olive branch, accentuating its role as a messenger of hope and life.
The contrast between the figure of the dove and the rope conveys a powerful message: life and human dignity are in tension with justice systems that punish with death. The image suggests that even the purest and most peaceful can be condemned in a world where justice can become inhumane. León visually denounces the ethical contradiction of an irreversible and definitive punishment such as the death penalty, inviting reflection on its legitimacy and its moral consequences.
