Khaberni -
In an artistic achievement carrying great national and historical value, Jordanian artist Haitham Khaled Jabr presents a massive sculpture titled "The Unknown Soldier," as a tribute to the eternal martyrs of the Battle of Al-Karamah. The statue stands at 15 meters high, a carefully chosen figure to symbolize the duration of the battle, which lasted 15 continuous hours of fighting.
The design is based on a precise symbolic vision; surrounding the statue are 88 rifles, each topped with a military helmet engraved with a martyr's name and his military unit, directly referring to the 88 martyrs Jordan provided on that day. With this artistic formation, the visual shape merges with national memory in a space that embodies pride, heroism, and sacrifice.
The "Unknown Soldier" represents an open message carrying the meanings of loyalty to the martyrs without personifying a specific individual, to symbolize everyone who stood in defense of the nation and offered their life for dignity. The work aims to enhance the presence of art in the documentation of national history and adds a visual element to the Jordanian cultural scene that revives the narrative of heroism through a sculpture capable of impact and permanence.
The implementation of the "Unknown Soldier" project was successfully completed, while artist Haitham Khaled Jabr continues to share his most prominent works and artistic stages through his official Facebook page:
