The installation was created for Independence Day and explores the theme of the interconnection between the past and the future. The concept unfolds in three parts — Past, Transformation, and Future—each with its own visual language: the roots and ornaments of ancient cultures; water and metal as symbols of purification and resilience; and constellations and a flag as symbols of a shared journey forward.

The future does not arise from a vacuum. It is shaped by the choices we make today, and the ability to move forward stems from an understanding of where we came from. A conscious understanding of the past becomes not a burden, but a point of support: a source of strength, identity, and resilience. The monument stands as an embodiment of this connection—the foundation from which movement and growth begin.

The installation’s visual sequence is built on original 3D graphics designed specifically for the monument’s shape, proportions, and scale—every element of the animation is precisely tied to the sculpture’s architecture. The projection mapping solution brings the static surface to life: transforming bronze into water, metal, crystal, or constellations, while preserving the recognizable silhouette of the Motherland. The visual sequence is synchronized with an original musical composition written specifically for the installation’s narrative—sound and image unfold as a single story.

This project was made possible thanks to the patronage of Avtostrada Group, as well as the support of the Ministry of Culture of Ukraine and the National Museum of the History of Ukraine in World War II, which supported the creation of the installation and contributed to the development of its idea and concept.

The installation will be on show every evening from 21 August to 1 September, from 9.00 pm to 11.00 pm.
