Ebba Åkerlund, 11
Lena Wahlberg, 69
MaÏlys Dereymaeker, 31
Chris Bevington, 41
Marie Kide, 66.
Made by the artist Ann-Sofi Sidén, and the architect Mats Fahlander.
Lots of discussions about this memorial since it was unveiled two weeks ago. Everyone could use a warm blanket after a horrible event is my take on it. And the sculpture is heated, so everyone will touch it to find out.
These are important to keep in mind what we've lost and honor those victims. Very often those who may pass by never knew this story, and now they shall.
That golden quilt looks very soft and cozy

ReplyDeleteThat is poetic.
ReplyDeleteI will most likely take more photos of it, becoming quite popular already.
