This sculptural glass monument takes the form of a wave representing the unity of the individual with the whole, the dynamic among the observing. Wave is a fraction of the vast sea – it rises and merges back again, it is moved by the winds and gravitational forces. Similarly, a man throughout his life is moved by many different forces – visible, invisible, comprehensible and inconceivable. Being aware of yourself as a part of the whole, of nature; being patient, loving, and peaceful are the signs of a strong and wise man. Such a man was Valerij Maligin, the man to whom this memorial is dedicated.
This glass wave is a grave monument created in a vertical glass stacking technique. The majestic rough-worked facets of the stacked glass sheets provide the sunlight with a surface to reflect from similar to the sea waves – creating a mighty glittering phenomenon. Just like humans, who reveal themselves to each other in interaction – the monument reveals new secrets to the viewer at different hours of the day, throughout the changing seasons, under the influence of changing atmospheric features. People mould each other and the environment in which they live by communicating. Valery has always expressed patience, love and peace. This is his most significant contribution to the lives of his fellow human beings.

Shipping and delivery
As soon as the glass memorial is ready, we share photos/videos with you for evaluation, prepare it for shipment and make installation instructions. We survey logistics companies to find and offer you the best delivery option. We can do the survey as soon as we know the delivery address and the exact configuration of the shipment - size and weight. We have established successful cooperation with transportation companies in various countries, but we are also open to collaboration with other logisticians, which you propose and choose! |

Production duration
The production of glass monuments lasts from 30 workdays. It mainly depends on the complexity of the design and the ongoing workload during the particular period. The work volume is usually highest during spring, whereby the production time is the most extended, starting from ~45 workdays. Therefore, we advise ordering a glass monument timely. For example, if you wish to install the memorial in spring/summer, then - autumn/winter is the best time to make the order. |

Granite base and other stone elements
You may choose to develop the granite base and stone elements with your local stonemasons or us. Making them locally will save you the shipping costs, and the stonemasons may prepare the ground and install the base as soon as it is ready. On rare occasions, making the stone parts with us will be the only option. This applies to designs where the stone and glass have to be very closely fitted (e.g. inlay of stone in glass monument or glass in boulder). |
