The Sorrow of Concordia is a three-dimensional sculptural installation built around a simple question: what remains of harmony when humanity forgets how to be human?

In ancient Roman tradition, Concordia was the goddess and personification of harmony, agreement, and unity — the force that bound people together and stood against division and discord.

In this work, Concordia is no longer depicted as an untouchable goddess. What remains is a broken fragment of her face, lying among the ruins and silently witnessing a world she could not keep united. Inside her eye, a miniature scene is frozen in time: a burning home, an abandoned playground, a destroyed car, and the traces of ordinary life interrupted by conflict.
Her gaze preserves what she has witnessed. A single tear remains permanently suspended on her face — not as a symbol of one particular war, but as a reflection on the recurring human failure to preserve peace, value one another, and remember what unites us.
Parts of the diorama are created using natural sand and stone personally collected by the artist in Hiroshima, Japan — a city whose history has become inseparable from the global memory of war and its consequences. Rather than recreating a specific historical event, these materials connect the fictional scene inside Concordia’s eye with a real place that carries profound historical memory.
The internal diorama features integrated LED illumination, revealing details hidden within the eye and transforming the work as the surrounding light changes. The sculptural structure is reinforced with a durable mineral-based compound, giving the fragmented form both physical strength and the texture of weathered stone.

Created entirely by hand, The Sorrow of Concordia exists as a single one-of-one artwork worldwide — a fragment of the goddess of harmony, condemned to remember the moments when humanity forgot her.
