The Monuments that where built between 1919–2000 represent many wars that where fought in that time and their different ideologies. Only a few of them are huge and monumental but the most are modest small town and village memorials that are only known by their local communities. By taking the Monuments and Memorials out of their context and scaling them all down to the same size I have taken their significance away and made them almost Toy-like.
