Monument - Cherbobyl Series. On the floor of the cooling tower of Reactor 5, this tree grows, symbolizing the a Monument to natures resilience and unlimited power and beauty. The reactor was under construction and located next to Reactor 4, which exploded in the Chernobyl disaster. Effortlessly, the tree grows through radioactive concrete, serving as evidence of nature's immense forces and selfless beauty.
