Becca Mercer
Pace e Bene ("Peace & Good"), 2026
Acrylic on canvas
40.6 × 50.8 cm (16 × 20 in)
Original Artwork
Pace e Bene ("Peace & Good") is an original still life floral painting by Becca Mercer centered around an old blessing. This composition, centered around a simple domestic setting, is a hopeful meditation of peace and good for those who have been uprooted from their homes.
The phrase inscribed on the blue and white painted vase takes its title from a centuries-old Franciscan greeting originating in Assisi, meaning “peace and all good”— an expression of goodwill offered as both blessing and prayer. The phrase appears at the center of the composition, quietly anchoring the scene with its gentle invocation of peace.
The still life unfolds upward from a small arrangement of oranges resting on the table to sunflowers turning toward the light. The painting reflects the joyful beauty of spaces where life can flourish—places of nourishment, shelter, and welcome.
Sunflowers have long symbolized joy, faithfulness, and the act of turning toward the light. In recent years, they have also become a symbol of resilience and hope for Ukraine, where the flower is deeply tied to the nation’s identity. Alongside the warmth and abundance suggested by the oranges, the composition becomes a vision of simple hope, envisioning peace and good for all.
Within the context of Habitat, the painting reflects on the idea that true homes—whether for people, birds, or communities—are places where peace can take root and goodness can grow.
