The NEAC is the only American cemetery based in the Netherlands, where over 10,000 servicemen and women are honoured, each of them to be remembered as individuals. These soldiers left their homes to fight in a land they did not know, to liberate people they had never met.
The advancement of the American forces during WW2 through the Netherlands and German territory meant they would encounter both natural and man-made defences. As lead designer, I proposed to create installations that take reference from the materiality of each of the key campaigns.
The installations are seen as sculptural pieces that provide an opportunity for the placement of people stories, quotes and integrated display cases, creating moments of intrigue and encounter.
