evoking both global tension and hope prompts

A single, unified, semi-realistic painting that symbolically represents the global headlines of July 1, 2025. The scene is set at twilight over a stylized Earth landscape. In the foreground, a Bavarian open-air theater stage shows actors performing 'The White Rose' in historical costumes, lit by warm stage lights. Behind them, a large EU flag gently transforms into the Danish flag, floating in the sky. To the left, a burning forest under a scorching sun represents the Southern European heatwave, with smoke drifting into the sky. Nearby, a peaceful LGBTQ+ protest unfolds in Budapest, with rainbow flags waving. In the distance, tanks and smoke rise over a war-torn Ukrainian landscape, while a white dove flies above, symbolizing fragile peace talks. Gaza is shown in ruins with grieving figures. On the right, two suited figures—one Chinese, one American—shake hands under a glowing banner reading 'Trade Deal'. In the far background, a romantic wedding scene unfolds on a Venetian balcony, referencing Jeff Bezos' wedding. The entire composition is seamlessly integrated into one dramatic, painterly scene with warm and cool lighting contrasts, evoking both global tension and hope.
