In the Artists own words “Меморіал на честь Небесної Сотні та всіх борців за державність України покликаний проголошувати світлу пам’ять загиблим і вічну славу героям Революціі Гідності. Пам’ятник, що буде встановлено в місті Bloomingdale, Il USA, звучатиме камертоном трагічних подій в Україні. Символ страждань та надії дзеркальний сталевий хрест, наче люстерко, тисячі разів відіб’є і з’єднає небо і землю, буття і небуття. Як нескінчена річка тече в цьому діамантовому хресті старовинний визерунок з блакиті та криці. Блакить душ загиблих героів та гідність нащадків. Духовним змістом, насичуючим меморіал є віра у невмирущу силу духу інезламну єдність українських патріотів. Пам’ятник промовлятиме – пам’ятайте, єднайтеся і нездоланними будете.” -- Євген Прокопов Художник Пам’ятника Translation The memorial honoring the Heavenly 100 and all who are fighting for Ukrainian nationhood and sovereignty is an announcement to the world of the radiant memory and eternal honor that is bestowed upon the heroes of the Revolution of Dignity. The monument, which will be erected in Bloomingdale Illinois, USA, will serve as an expression of the tragic events in Ukraine. The symbol of both the suffering and the hopes of the victims, a high polish stainless steel cross, is a mirror of sorts, that will endlessly reflect the unity of heaven and earth, being and non-being. Like an endless river flowing into the diamond like reflections an overlay of an ancient Ukrainian pattern (mini crosses) furthers the symbolism of transcendence. Blue is the color symbolizing the souls of the departed heroes and the dignity of future generations. The spiritual content filling the monument is faith in the power of the eternal soul, and the unbreakable unity of Ukrainian patriots. The memorial calls to us-Remember, Be Unified and you will undefeated. --Yevhen Prokopov, Artist of the Memorial Digital Links to Heaven’s Brigade Memorial, Bloomingdale Illinois Event Information: Monument Information: Images: contact John Jaresko at jjaresko@aol.com Artist Information: Social Media Addresses: End
