The Garland, public cemetery, Ede
2003
sculpture
iron frame, digital print on PVC foil
diameter: 1350 cm
The sculpture "The Garland" is located on the roundabout at the end of the main avenue of the cemetery of Ede town and can be seen as a wreath of memories.
The sculpture consists of an undulating, round circle with sixty-three colorful medallions. The center of the circle is a void.
The undulating movement of "The Garland" symbolizes, together with the different colors of the medallions, the circular course of nature and thus the course of human life.
On the medallions there are photos of fragments of clothes. They are stills from the film "Dear Son", and they originate from a wide range of periods and cultures. The use of fragments is based on the fact that human memories are also fragmentary.
