PVC patch (chevron) “The price of the future”

This is not an abstraction or an artistic image. It is a reality that we see all too often. On the patch is a widow who has come with her child to the grave of her husband and the father of her child. She does not cry or look away.

She stands nearby and helps her child touch the name on the cross — so that their memory begins not with legends, but with truth. The crosses with tridents are a place where someone's youth remains. Not by their own choice, but for the sake of others. Here lie those who did not have time to grow old, but managed to become fathers, husbands, warriors. The “place of eternal youth” is about families that the war made adults before they had the right to be. About children who grow up with portraits instead of memories. And about women who hold on not for themselves, but for the future.
