Anti-Soviet Partisans' Memorial in Wrocław, Poland

Anti-Soviet Partisans' Memorial in Wrocław, Poland is a glass sculptural permanent installation of soldiers hidden in glass cuboids.
Symbolically the composition depicts all Polish Anti-Soviet Partisans, heroes acting in the underground after The II World War, often anonymous, lonely, trapped, stabbed, imprisoned and erased. The artwork activates ones imagination, showing the tragic situation, honoring heroes, evoking reflection and arousing feelings of respect for their fate, while giving a message to young generations. Designed for the city center, the memorial at the same is supposed to enrich the public space during day and night. Sculptures are made of unique thick artistic glass - a material that vividly, mysteriously and exceptionally moves the imagination and constantly plays with light and shadows. Monumental glass casts with an original gray graphic layer of painting alludes to the old photographs of soldiers. Glass sculptures - silhouettes of soldiers in a 1: 1 scale - are placed in cuboids, also made of artistic glass, safe - tempered, with a kiln’s original texture. Arranged evenly on the square in “military” order and style, 9 sculptures and luminous solids about 3 meters high already from a distance are associated with soldiers.
