This is where time, nature, and man meet. The composition consists of 12 sculptures dedicated to the 12 months of the year. Each of them is dedicated to a deity who protects the earth's work and natural phenomena of that month.  

The four taller sculptures, marking the critical turning points of the year – two solstices and two equinoxes – play a special role. Their individual elements are moved by the wind, emphasizing the power and vitality of nature, and the entire sculptures are revealed only when touched by a person.

The sculptures are made of metal and stone to blend harmoniously into the environment and match the existing symbols – the Dovilan star and the stone of the Lithuanian Centennial Oak Grove.

This hill of sculptures is a unique composition that has no analogues not only in the Klaipėda district, but in the whole of Lithuania.
