I WANT TO LIVE

This installation depicts a 13ft high Ukrainian Soldier holding a baby, leading a Ukrainian woman and child to safety.

From conception to completion, this powerful statue was created in just 12 days.

Dan worked in collaboration with artist, Peter Naylor, to help him produce his vision, which was laser cut out of 15mm sheet steel.

Oxford City & County councils worked closely together to provide the space in Oxford’s Broad Street in which to display it.

We are eternally grateful for the generosity of our private supporters, volunteers, and sponsors, who between them have enabled the whole project to happen.

Historically, monuments, tributes and sculptures come after the event, however for Ukraine we want to act now. If people have already donated to one of the Ukrainian funding drives and feel they want to do more we will keep creating the installations for as long as we can fund them. Dan feels imagery plays a huge part in war; it can send a powerful message to aggressors and show a meaningful message of solidarity to those in need.
