Sunflower, a land art sculpture made from mirror-polished stainless steel, dedicated to peace prevailing over evil, war and violence, and the memory of all those who fought and died for it.

The Sunflower installation, facing the sky and sun, consists of three main elements. The wheat, which symbolizes bread, sprouts from inside the outline of a polished steel table. The flawless mirror circle conveys the idea of infinite life cycles, symbolising the world and the universe with reflections of the boundless sky above it. Finally, the bench around the perimeter is intended for the main inhabitants of the world — us, the people who, when nearby, may ponder the thought that unity and closeness are more important than artificially-created conflicts, and that all contradictions can be overcome. 

“Wheat sown inside the contour germinates, matures, and then is harvested, joining an endless cycle of rebirth, turning into a 'conveyor of life' throughout the duration of its existence”, says the artist. “In this work, I ask the following question: how is it that in a world where there is everything for life and happiness, there can be so many disagreements and misunderstandings and wars created by people themselves. Isn’t there enough 'bread' and space in the world for all of us?”
