Monument of Independence

Tashkent

The Monument of Independence (1991) marks the sovereignty of Uzbekistan. The large golden globe has outlines of the borders (territorial) of the State, but the engraved territory of the Republic does not repeat the geographical location of the country, as it symbolises the desire of the young independent state to join the world community and its recognition by many countries.

The “Happy Mother” monument (2006) was completed by the sculptor, Ilhomom Kamolom Dzhabbarovymi. The image symbolises a mother's homeland, and a child - the image of the future. The Happy Mother is 6 meters high and the length of the child is 3.5 meters. The monument is simple, but solemn.
