Annotation
Shrouded in mystery, the culture of Roma is very particular yet undiscovered. It is ephemeral, transitory and variable. We wish to propose a design in line with Roma identity and create spaces that evoke certain emotions and impressions. The memorial is a metaphor, it talks about forgotten holocaust, prejudice, ignorance but also about memory and hope. The inconceivable events should not be forgotten nor dissembled. A place with such complex and strong history needs a powerful response.
