Independence Monument, Tashkent

Sparkles in the sky

Uzbekistan
Already established as a nationally renowned landmark, Uzbekistan's Independence Monument was officially unveiled in the capital city of Tashkent in 2021, marking the 30th anniversary of the nation's independence. Dubbed 'Stella,' a name resonating with both 'star' and 'statue' in Uzbek, the monument embodies Uzbekistan's most cherished historical and cultural values.  

Located in the heart of an expansive park meticulously designed to provide a verdant, tranquil retreat for local families, the Independence Monument is surrounded by lush gardens, an artificial lake, sporting amenities, playgrounds, an amphitheatre, ornate fountains, as well as commercial and recreational facilities, including artisanal shops.

The construction materials, transported from Turkey via 85 trucks and 14 planes, reflect the magnitude of the project. Executed in a mere 47 days by a workforce exceeding 1,000 individuals, the Independence monument pays homage to Uzbekistan's rich historical legacy. Employing advanced mapping technology and intricate relief sculptures, the monument narrates three distinct epochs of the country's history upon its exterior surface, with details referring to cultural, mathematics, and scientific milestones.

Featuring artistic installations and bronze sections symbolising eternity, the monument is crowned by an eight-pointed star, a poignant symbol in Seljuk Empire history. At its zenith, the construction is topped by a majestic Huma bird, revered for its mythical rebirth from ashes, its wings outstretched in a symbol of peace, freedom, and prosperity.

In order to celebrate with joyful games of light every single anniversary from its construction, the huge stele required an impressive illumination system that could enhance its majestic height with stunning colour changing effects. Powerful Capital 300 units in RGBW colour configuration with different optics were installed at the base of the front part of the majestic structure to cast far-reaching beams of light up to its top. Jupiter units were employed to paint in bright colours the rear side of the stele, while the in-ground luminaires Dune MK3 were embedded in front of the bas-relief to perfectly enhance it.  
A memorable play of lights and colours will always serve as a reminder to the people of Uzbekistan of their country’s cultural values, historic legacy, and struggle for independence.
