A sculpture dedicated to the victims of the Ukraine invasion has been installed in Worthing. The eye-catching commemorative sculpture – of a Ukrainian soldier holding a baby while leading a mother and another child to safety – was installed in Worthing town centre on Wednesday, May 3.
It is the work of Dan Barton, founder of UK voluntary community project Standing with Giants, in collaboration with fellow artist, Pete Naylor, to show ‘unwavering solidarity’ to people suffering in Ukraine. Standing with Giants was established in Oxfordshire in 2019 to ‘honour those who fight for freedom, past and present’.
