What if our currency reflected our highest values?

The Tubman Note: Peace in Bloom is an original work of symbolic art that reimagines what American currency could represent. Inspired by the enduring legacy of Harriet Tubman, this note invites us to consider a different measure of wealth—one rooted not in accumulation, but in freedom, courage, peace, and our shared humanity.

The front of the note honors Harriet Tubman, whose extraordinary life reminds us that freedom has always required vision, sacrifice, and collective action. Her image represents more than history; it symbolizes the continuing work of liberation.

Turn the note over, and the story expands.

A hand raised in the universal sign of peace emerges from a landscape of flowering plants drawn from across the globe. Together they symbolize the hope that peace can flourish across cultures, nations, and communities when we recognize our profound interconnectedness. The artwork imagines a world in which our greatest wealth is not measured by what we possess, but by what we cultivate together.

More Than a Collectible

This is not a reproduction of U.S. currency. It is an original artwork that uses the familiar form of a banknote to explore enduring questions:

• What do we truly value?

• Whom do we choose to honor?

• What kind of future are we investing in?

• What would it mean if freedom and peace became our common currency?

Whether displayed in a home, office, classroom, or community space, The Tubman Note: Peace in Bloom is designed to spark thoughtful conversations about history, justice, reconciliation, and the possibilities of a more compassionate world.

Designed for Reflection

Every element of the artwork has been chosen intentionally. Harriet Tubman represents the courage to pursue freedom despite overwhelming obstacles. The peace sign embodies our collective longing for a world less defined by conflict. The flowering plants, drawn from diverse regions of the world, celebrate the beauty that emerges when many traditions, cultures, and peoples thrive together.

The note asks us to imagine that the values we hold most dear are also the values we place into circulation every day.

An Invitation

The Tubman Note: Peace in Bloom is an invitation to remember that freedom is never merely inherited—it is continually created through acts of courage, compassion, and hope.

May it serve not only as a work of art, but as a reminder that the most enduring currency has always been the human capacity to cultivate peace, nurture justice, and help one another flourish.

Peace is always in bloom where freedom takes root.
