Restare, Memorial sculpture on Djurgården island in Stockholm, Sweden.
This contemporary memorial features a stone sculpture with human proportions shaped like an early-stage bud, accompanied by three heated marble benches arranged in a circular pattern within a tree-framed space.
Inaugurated in 2013 near the Sjöhistoriska museet on northern Djurgården, this monument was created to honor Swedish Armed Forces personnel and civilians returning from international peacekeeping operations.
The memorial serves as both a community gathering place for annual ceremonies honoring peacekeepers and a personal sanctuary for individual reflection, embodying Swedish values of peace and international cooperation.
Visitors can access the monument year-round on Djurgården island, where the heated marble benches provide comfortable seating for contemplation in all seasons near other Stockholm cultural attractions.
The sculpture contains distinctive drop-like cavities that resemble human faces, while the artist's concept emphasizes that humans possess inherent healing components within themselves, making this a therapeutic space.
