Memorial sculptures
Memorial Sculptures Designed Around Connection
Contemporary memorial sculpture
A memorial does not have to look like a traditional memorial.
Contemporary memorial sculpture brings together remembrance, design and material to create objects that can have a meaningful place within the home.
At TOGETHER, we are interested in what happens when a memorial object is considered first as a piece of design — its proportions, silhouette, material, presence and relationship to the space around it.
Our first work, HUG, explores this idea through two individual memorial vessels that come together as one sculptural form.
Sculptural objects for remembrance
Memorial objects for the home
A contemporary memorial sculpture can be quiet and personal.
Rather than relying on traditional symbols, materials or visual language, the object can communicate through form.
HUG was created with this in mind: a sculptural object that can remain part of everyday surroundings while holding a deeply personal purpose.
Designing for connection
Many memorial urns are designed around an individual.
HUG begins from a different perspective.
It was designed around the relationship between two people.
Two separate vessels remain individually meaningful. When placed together, they create a shared sculptural composition.
A different approach to memorial design
TOGETHER is exploring a more contemporary language for cremation memorials — one based on simplicity, proportion, material and emotional meaning rather than traditional funeral aesthetics.
The result is intended to feel considered, timeless and at home.
Further questions about the piece are gathered in the HUG FAQ.
