Hero Armor in the Media

Hero Armor is a Ukrainian memorial art installation heading to Burning Man 2026. It honours the Ukrainians who left civilian life to defend their country — and carries the legacy of Zakhar Zakharov, the 3D artist whose concept became this sculpture and who was killed in the war.

Below is the press coverage of the project — from Ukrainian and international media — together with posts from the team building it. Each entry links to the original publication. To see the sculpture itself, the engineering behind it and the people involved, visit the Hero Armor project page, or read the story behind the memorial and meet the team bringing it to the playa.
