Description

Homeward in Mind, sculpture by Arthur Badalov

It is so similar feeling for Armenians to go home in thoughts. To see your family sitting around the table, listen to their voices, their jokes on your imagination. To see how your grandparents are smiling at you, calling you by names you didn’t like, but now you are dreaming about being called by these names again. This man represents one of the men in war, far from home, who miss their home, their family, and every second spent with them. And by that time, feeling of appreciation comes. This man has old hope in his eyes, like himself, and his beard is like that waterfall in his hometown that he is fighting for.
