Till Raoul Wallenberg, Abstract memorial sculpture in Berzelii Park, Stockholm, Sweden.
Description
The memorial in Berzelii Park comprises several bronze and metal geometric blocks arranged horizontally, departing from traditional monument design. Visitors walk between these forms, creating a hands-on experience that engages them directly with the work.
History
Danish artist Kirsten Ortwed created this memorial in 2001 to commemorate Swedish diplomat Raoul Wallenberg. His actions during World War II saved thousands of lives and established a lasting humanitarian legacy.
Culture
The memorial shows how remembrance has shifted toward abstract language rather than figurative representation, inviting visitors to form their own reflection. People gather here for quiet contemplation, experiencing a modern approach to honoring humanitarian courage.
Practical
The memorial is positioned near the Nybroviken waterfront and is easily accessible from Stockholm's city center. The site regularly hosts commemorative events and educational programs, welcoming visitors who want to learn more about this period.
Did you know?
The arrangement of metal blocks follows deliberate spatial design that guides visitors through changing positions and perspectives as they walk. This physical movement through the work becomes part of the commemoration itself.
