Completed in 2015, 70 years after World War II, this mural is a memorial dedicated to all casualties of the darkest period of the XXth century.
Each X represents over 33000 people who lost their lives during the WWII, Holocaust, the Second Sino-Japanese War and Political Repressions. With 2104 X-es across two flights of stairs, I wanted to evoke the feeling of a checklist.
Given the approximate number of known casualties, a blank space is left for any as of yet undiscovered victims.
