ARMIES

 

This composition represents the two armies (Italian and Austro-Hungarian) which faced each other during the Great War in the surrounding mountains. Helmets, similar to those worn by the two armies, stand in opposition to each other, symbolically placed to face the same directions as the armies did during the period of combat. The two formations of helmets stand in homage to the moment of battle, whose only outcome will be Death, symbolised by four skulls placed in the centre.

"The single great evil
that must be opposed
is not one group of people or another,
but rather the fear and hatred
that continue to find root in human hearts."
