COVID CRISIS (M)ONUMENT
Gent, Belgium
Gent, Belgium
A series of seven monuments, dispersed over the Belgian territory, remembers the victims of the Covid crisis. Each of them is a mutated variation of a broken circle. Together they form a family of interconnected places for solace and silence. In Gent, the monument is a first act in the gradual transformation of a former field into a biodiverse forest.
