About Concrete Echoes
Concrete is the second most used material in the world and the most destructive. Serving not only in contemporary buildings but also military architecture, it becomes a reminder of wartime. But what happens to the memory of war when it’s over, when it slowly fades away, and the bunkers start to crumble?
By exploring the Atlantic Wall and the concrete used in its construction, Umanskaya aims to examine the impact of military structures on civilian landscapes amid ongoing global conflicts.
As a Russian citizen affected by the Russia-Ukraine war, she connects her experience with The Hague’s political environment, questioning how its wartime heritage influences contemporary politics and local memory.
About Sonya Umanskaya
Sonya Umanskaya is a graphic designer and artist, mostly exploring the topics of collective memory, historical artefacts and architecture.
