Faces Of War
A tribute to those who lost their lives in World War 1
Art installation called 'Faces of War' is made with sleepers from First World War railway tracks found in the area of Flanders.
Our Collection
'Faces of War' is an art project by myself that focuses on commemorating the First World War through the use of material from that period, namely railway sleepers. I give these railway sleepers a new life by adorning them with human faces. Each face on the railway sleepers serves as a silent witness to the events during the war in the region where they were found. The number 129 is based on the number of contemporary countries identified by Dominiek Dendooven from IFFM as originating from which war victims came.
