Granite Sculpture Ensemble with Miniature Figures in a Green Park near Ancient Ruins

Four granite sculptures are arranged on a gravel area within a park-like setting, backed by a wide open green meadow, fragments of ancient stone ruins, and a pine forest. Each sculpture differs in form: some feature a broad, bowl-like surface atop a solid base, while others are denser and more angular in composition. The upper surfaces of the sculptures are adorned with small, carefully crafted stone figures that appear to represent human silhouettes or miniature inhabited places. The spring surroundings include blooming lilac bushes, and a large, full-canopied oak tree dominates the left side of the frame.

Like the companion view, this ensemble forms part of a memorial site dedicated to the memory of the flooded homes of Doles Island and the communities that once lived there. The miniature figures visible on the sculpture surfaces can be interpreted as symbolic representations of the lost villages and their people — small stone figures upon wide stone platforms, as if searching for their place. The arrangement includes sculptures at varying heights, creating a dynamic, multi-dimensional composition that invites visitors to walk around and discover each piece individually.

The ancient stone ruins visible behind the sculptures add a deeper historical dimension to the setting, weaving together multiple layers of time within a single landscape. The presence of a children's playground nearby creates an interesting contrast — everyday life continuing alongside a memorial to the past. Overall, the scene is calm and dignified, with well-maintained lawns and lush greenery providing a fitting natural frame for a place of cultural remembrance.
