Our sculptor Lovre Jakšić had the honor of making the Croatia’s Rose sculpture for the city of Vukovar. The sculpture was placed in front of the National Memorial Hospital in Vukovar, where the unveiling ceremony was held. The whole project was realized thanks to the great efforts of Lidija Dugan and Ante Čaljkušić and their organization “Croatia for Life”. Five years ago, they launched an action and collected donations for the erection of this monument, which was financed exclusively by voluntary contributions from citizens. This sculpture commemorates Ružica Markobašić, her unborn son Antun and all pregnant women and their children killed in wars on Croatian territory. The monument was unveiled by Ružica’s daughter, who was 13 years old at the time of her murder and fortunately survived because she was removed from Vukovar in time. “Croatia’s Rose” is the second public sculpture by Lovre Jakšić made for Vukovar, the first beeing a bust of Jean-Michel Nicolier placed next to the bridge of the same name. Extremely touching theme marked in the eternal material – stone.
