“Nuclear Security Summit” embodies the intense emotions stirred by the summit of the same name, an initiative announced by the United States in 2009. This global summit aims to combat nuclear terrorism worldwide. As of 2021, four such summits have occurred, each contributing to the collective effort to enhance nuclear security. The painting captures the gravity, urgency, and hope of these international efforts.
