Památník obětem střelby ve Fakultní nemocnici Ostrava, Memorial monument in Poruba, Czech Republic

The bronze sculpture near the entrance of the University Hospital Ostrava represents an astronomical black hole, symbolizing extinguished and dark stars.

The memorial commemorates the tragic events of December 10, 2019, when seven people lost their lives at the University Hospital Ostrava.

The monument creates a deliberate contrast with the adjacent granite Sun sculpture by Vladislav Gajda, presenting opposing elements of darkness and light.

The memorial structure weighs 600 kilograms and consists of five separate parts welded together, with text engraved on its sides.

The sculpture was cast at the Ještědský Bronze foundry in Liberec and received a specific black patina treatment to enhance its symbolic meaning.
