Earthstoriez for PAX MUNDI WORLD PEACE
At earthstoriez we wrote an open letter calling global leaders for world peace – for pax mundi and created pixelated peace NFTs showing each country’s flag joined with “icons of peace,” like the peace dove, the peace lotus and the peace symbol.
Earthstoriez aims to contribute to a culture of peace, a culture of social interaction based on tolerance and kindness; a culture that seeks a solution to problems through dialogue and negotiation.
Peace is build together, piece by piece – pixel by pixel, with our PAX MUNDI art project we call the global community for world peace:
“Please build networks of peace.”
We re-imagine iconic peace symbols filled in with a mosaic of raw, pixelated real-world flag colors, emblems and patterns. This digital peace symbols are written (mint) to the blockchain as NFTs (non fungible tokens), to preserve our data. Minting also establishes ownership and provenance of the digital item on the blockchain, ensuring its uniqueness and authenticity.
We assign metadata to the pax mundi – NFTs, like the country or international peace institutions’ name, the head of state and head of government of the nations we ask for world peace. Including information about the pax mundi – world peace project and the open letter for peace and the description of the national flag.
This handmade pixel works are a visual statement – our call for pax mundi – world peace, they shall help shape public perception around the importance of diplomacy over violence, reinforcing the desire for peaceful coexistence on an international scale.
PAX MUNDI
WORLD PEACE
The peace symbol is born from the nuclear disarmament movements of the 1950s. The anarcho-pacifist members were strongly influenced by the nonviolent methods of resistance (satyagraha) developed by Gandhi during the Indian freedom struggle, and they devised their actions in accordance with their understanding of his principles of truth and nonviolence.
The ‘disarmament symbol’ or the ‘CND symbol’ (after the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament) was designed for the British CND movement by textile designer Gerald Holtom. It combines the flag semaphore signs for the letters N(uclear) and D(isarmament), framed by a circle signifying the world.
This peace symbol was later adopted by wider disarmament and anti-war movements, crossing national and cultural boundaries.
PAX MUNDI LOTUS
WORLD PEACE
Rising fragrant and unsoiled out of muddy water, the lotus symbolizes peace and integrity.
We mint pax mundi LOTUS NFTs, as a universal symbol of world peace. We re-imagine the serene lotus flower filled in with a mosaic of raw, pixelated real-world flag colors and emblems and assign metadata to the pax mundi lotus- NFTs.
Lotuses teach us that even from the muck and the darkest circumstances, peace and light can emerge.
In the classical written and oral literature of diverse Asian cultures the lotus is present in figurative form signifying purity of heart and mind.
The lotus, also known as the “qinglian” 青莲 is phonetically resembling “integrity.” 清廉 Qīnglián, symbolizes clean and upright behavior, particularly in officialdom, – the people in organizations or governments who are in positions of authority,– this message is for you leaders of the world, that is why we wrote your names in the traits of the NFT’s.
The handmade pax mundi lotus carries good wishes and our call for pax mundi – world peace asking the world leaders:
“Please build networks of peace”.
PAX MUNDI PEACE DOVE
WORLD PEACE
The dove has symbolized peace since ancient times, revered as a sacred bird in civilizations from Egypt, Greece, Phoenicia, and Rome. Native American peoples, such as those of the Blackfoot tribe, associated the dove with protection and safe return from battle. Japanese culture linked the dove to the warrior deity Hachiman; a dove carrying a sword symbolized the end of war.
In the Old Testament, the dove represents renewed life, showing to Noah that it was safe to leave the Ark. Islamic tradition honors doves for their role in protecting the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) during the Hijra, and they are counted among the animals of heaven. Judaism and Christianity first understood the dove as a symbol of inner spiritual peace and renewal, later expanding its meaning to social and political peace – “peace unto the nations.”
Hinduism views the dove as a reflection of harmony and a welcoming, peaceful atmosphere. Chinese symbolism assigns this role to the quail (an chun 鹌鹑), whose name echoes the words for ‘peaceful existence and harmony 安存’.
The peace dove with or without an olive branch is an iconic symbol of peace and hope, something we need more than ever in a turbulent world. The handmade peace dove flies out to bring peace, compassion and kindness to all people of the world.

The greatest happiness in the world is peace.
Peace is interaction: Global peace is built in dialogue, shaped in trust and held together by collaboration. Each flag within the peace symbol represents a voice in the global call for world peace – peace is possible for all of us, building it piece by piece, pixel by pixel.
United in diversity: The global community is diverse and crosses borders, nationalities, faith and belief systems. Peace, exists through the reconciliation of differences. A network of peace emerges not from the absence of conflict, but from the active and courageous work of understanding and transformation. We are all responsible for shaping a world where peace is universal, where every person’s rights are upheld in an ethical principle based on respect of life and it’s integrity.
Each flag is unique, just as each nation’s history and culture. The peace symbol with national and international organizations flags shows that peace can exist within that diversity – it is about respecting and embracing it.
This peace symbols adorned with the national emblems stand as powerful reminders that we are all united in the need for a peaceful world.
One human family: We are all part of one human family – woven together by the unique threads of each country’s story, struggle, and spirit. The peace symbols have evolved into universal emblems of peace. They represent not just the absence of conflict, but the desire for kindness, and non-violence.
Our pax mundi – NFTs are a symbol of love and harmony – a reminder that the pursuit of peace is a shared human responsibility.
“When the power of love overcomes the love of power, the world will know peace.”
Jimi Hendrix
