Slavery means suffering. Suffering comes from oppression and obedience against volition. This was the ground for the actual society, that must not forget the price of welfare. The concept for my proposal starts from how society rises on the back of slaves. The design is mainly figurative, containing minimal intervention to the environment. There is a field covered in grass, with hillocks disposed in groups with spaces in-between for alleys (also overgrown with grass). The symbolic meaning of these mounds of earth is the shape of a cowered back, position that shows the attributes of slavery: humiliation, misery, weakness, obedience. While walking beside them, the feeling must be powerful, because they also can be seen as funeral monuments: like little graves (empty, of course-only one meter length). Initially my intention was to fill out the field not with hillocks, but sculpted human backs. Eventually I have chosen this more figurative representation, with more meanings and suggestion layers. Between the hillocks groups, in the center of the field there is an empty area with a pile of stones. This element is the vertical accent of the composition and through his shape seems to be an insertion in a natural site. This pile symbolizes the society by general shape (the pyramid), and also by its body parts (the stones with an irregular shape are in unstable balance, it seems that the collapse can happen any time, but still they stay together, supporting each other). I have chosen natural, unwrought materials assembled in an aboriginal way (stone and grass). It may seem oddly for a contemporary monument, but there meaning is symbolic and tells of pure origins, ingenuity and artlessness of the first victims of slavery, remembering us the harm brought to them.
