About this artwork
The painting of the urn, created in the context of the Ukrainian war, is a powerful reflection on the importance of collective memory. The artwork depicts an urn, which has an analogue in the Auschwitz concentration camp. The urn bears the aphorism of the Spanish philosopher George Santayana, "Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it."
