The Fallen 9000

For international Peace day on the 21st September we made 9000 silhouettes as a visual representation of the civilians, Germans and Allied forces that lost their lives during WWII as an example of what happens in the absence of peace. We were joined by hundreds of volunteers from all over the world and it was an absolutely incredible day.

D-Day beach art to remember the Fallen

Two Yorkshire sand artists are to create a vast sand art project on one of the beaches which featured in the D-Day in France this weekend. They will lead a team of volunteers to make 9,000 sand drawings to mark Peace Day, representing those who lost their lives there during World War II.

Even in this photograph all the all the Fallen cannot be seen, and there are so many that even those that you can see appear to be only speckles in the sand. But they are not, they are people.
