Annotation
The main element of our composition is the forest. Forest. Its inner space. Its edge. Open space created by the edge of the forest. Forest as a community. Here, the most general metaphor for the Roma community. The absence of the forest as a metaphor for the absence of those who did not survive Roma holocaust. Memorial :    The first goal of our project is to anchor the commemoration of those who suffered in this concentration camp. Education :   Our second goal is to tell this story of horrors and bring it before the eyes of the society. Community :   The third goal is to create a space of encounter: coming together as an opportunity to maintain or start friendships, to share our lives.
