The bronze sculpture captures a family poised for their portrait, their pose eerily composed as if waiting to be immortalized on canvas or in photographs. A closer inspection reveals the inscription 1918 etched onto the wall behind them, a poignant reminder that they are likely mourning the loss of loved ones from the devastating First World War. Georgian sculptor Zurab Tsereteli is renowned for his innovative and often provocative art pieces, which frequently challenge conventional norms.
