National Holodomor Memorial
This memorial was the award winning design of architect Larysa Kurylas of Kurylas Studio. A bronze bas-relief sculpture depicting a monumentally-scaled field of wheat which - across 30 feet - transitions from highly articulated to barely visible wheat. The haunting negative space of the sculpture, with the gradual emergence of the Ukrainian term "Holodomor", is intended to convey the deliberate nature of the famine in Ukraine - a famine which was secretly engineered by the Soviet government mainly through grain confiscation.
