Peace in Heaven, 2013, Iron 360x340x155 cm.
A memorial sculpture in honor of the victims of Holocaust in Djakovo, Croatia.
The people of Konchar, metal constructions picked me up from the airport strait to the factory to finish the work on the sculpture. It was already cut and waited to connect the tree branches and finish the work.
The installation in
Djakovo was an exciting and inspiring day, as all the installations are. It is always a special day, the moment of realization of an idea of a dream.
With the help of a local crane we worked the whole day and by the end the tree and the Magen David were standing in front of the old Jewish cemetery indicating the eternity of our people.

The commemoration for the holocaust victims is held every year on the 2nd June. This year it was especially exciting with the inauguration
Of the memorial "Peace in Heaven"
Prof. Dr. Ognjen Kraus the President of the Jewish Community in Zagreb who succeeded to raise the budget to build the sculpture and Mr. Dragutin Kohn the head of the Osjek Jewish community gave speeches. Even I explained the meaning of my work. The Magen David is the ultimate symbol of Judaism and the tree indicates life,
growth and the survival of the Jewish people.
