Ian Nes
Biography
"The painting addresses the fact that often we do not recognize or value the small daily achievements. Just as the monument, which is part of the city's everyday life, risks being unseen, unnoticed, and consequently disconnected from its original meaning, we also have a strong tendency to ignore the small steps, the victories. The trophies of each day need to be raised for the constitution of individuals within the community."
