Gravitational Ripples, Memorial sculpture in Djurgården, Sweden
The double spiral earthwork with soil banks and bronze sculptures forms pathways leading to a central point representing celestial bodies in motion.
Following the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami that claimed 543 Swedish lives, the Swedish government commissioned this memorial for the tenth anniversary.
The memorial merges Einstein's gravitational waves theory with artistic expression through seasonal changes in the soil and plant life.
Visitors can walk the spiral paths while observing the transformation of meadow grasses and flowers throughout different seasons.
Nobel laureate Rainer Weiss confirmed that the sculpture connects the tsunami with black hole collisions through gravitational wave representation.
