Alexander Milov the sculptor from Odessa has prepared a sketch of the coronavirus monument, which is planned to be installed in Dubai. The composition consists of 56 figures of adults and children without mouths, which means the limitations in which all of humanity finds itself.
The monument will be a coronavirus molecule with thorns in the shape of Earth, on the surface of which gigantic people stand holding hands. Each figure will consist of thousands of people hugging each other, standing on each other's shoulders. According to Milov, the "molecule" consisting of people symbolizes different social groups, their values, which are united by one tragedy: a pandemic.
The composition involves 56 figures of adults and children without mouths on their faces, which will symbolize the limitations in which all of humanity finds itself.
At the base of the planet is a standard family as a symbol of the basis for procreation in a natural way. At the same time, the whole Earth spins on the mother's head.

The estimated weight of the monument is 9 tons. It will be made of polyester resin, concrete and stainless steel. The composition is 15 meters high, 13 meters wide and 12 meters deep. Illumination of monuments is provided - LED projector 12000 Lm. The diameter of the concrete base is 21 meters, the height is 45 cm.
The round dance of the sun consists of seven adults and as many children, led by a male figure, which is the axis of the planet. In the center of the round dance, a couple in love, which is a symbol of love. Around them there are three more couples with children, and there are both a heterosexual family with a child and two same-sex families (man + man + child and woman + woman + child). This is a reference to a new trend that symbolizes families of different orientations.
At the same time, two couples in love (woman + woman, man + man) stand aside from the main round dance. They are the personification of society's rejection of sexual minorities.
He tells his own story, needs no explanation, speaks of solidarity and unity, that we are all affected by this virus, and the only way out is to unite all of us to fight it.

The composition also features a single mother with her son, and against their background - the figure of a man looking at his watch. For balance, the author added a single father with his daughter, and next to them - the figure of a dancing young woman. Nearby - a round dance of six adults, in the center of which is a boy and a girl holding hands and symbolizing friendship and mutual love.
The last two groups consist of a woman with three men and a man with three women, which symbolizes matriarchy and patriarchy, respectively.
This entire composition revolves around its axis at the angle of rotation of the planet and the holding arc resembles a globe. When the molecule lights up, the composition turns into a dance of the Sun and the Moon reflecting it - the main symbols of the universe.
