Remembering, together.
Angels of Ukraine is a memorial installation intended to draw continuing public attention to the war and the children it has taken from Ukraine.

In the original invitation, each blue and yellow angel represents a Ukrainian child who will not grow up and live the life they should have had. The installation is a remembrance, not a live count.
