The image depicts a bas-relief sculpture mounted on a wall tiled with white squares. The sculpture is bronze-toned and features a rocket ascending from what appears to be Earth or a launchpad, with stylized clouds or waves below it. Above the rocket, a sun with rays is depicted, and at the very top, there are elements that suggest a spacecraft or celestial bodies. The sculpture is positioned centrally on the tiled wall. Below the tiled section, there is a band of stone-like material and a dark, horizontal surface, possibly a ledge or part of a structure. This sculpture is located in the vestibule of the metro station "VDNKh" (Exhibition of Achievements of National Economy) in Moscow, Russia. The station, opened in 1958, is known for its opulent design, reflecting the Soviet era's focus on progress and achievements. The artwork specifically commemorates space exploration and scientific achievements.
