The Fallen was an innately temporary installation: 9,000 stencilled figures, drawn on sand to be washed away like the lives of the soldiers who died there in World War II.
Sculptors Jamie Wardley and Andy Moss create The Fallen, to raise awareness of International Peace Day. The project took place on the D-Day landing beach, were many soldiers lost their lives during World War Two. The exact number of deaths is not known, but the 9,000 figures were an estimate of the number of bodies.
