About the artwork

This impressive photo of a serene beachfront sunrise has deep historical significance, as this is no ordinary beach; it is Omaha Beach, one of the landing beaches in Normandy where, during World War II, the Allies arrived on D-Day. This moment marked a turning point in the war and led to the liberation of Western Europe from Nazi occupation.

In the picture, we see a peaceful moment where nature shows its undisturbed beauty, with soft rays of sunlight colouring the sky and water and a peaceful, almost mirror-smooth sea surface. However, the historical echoes of this location add a profound layer of reflection and memory to the image. The wooden jetty, quietly overlooking the calm waters, stands in stark contrast to the chaos and violence of that decisive day in 1944.

This sculpture not only invites the viewer to appreciate the visual and peaceful beauty of the landscape, but also to reflect on the sacrifices made for freedom. It is a tribute to the courage and resilience of the liberators who fought on these beaches.

This artwork would be a powerful piece in any collection, a reminder of the complex layers of beauty and history that can exist together in a single place. Now available for purchase, this piece promises to be not only an aesthetic addition, but also an invitation to commemoration and respect for those who laid down their lives for our freedom.
