Self-discovery enters internal underground streets. Prior beliefs are tested and non-aerodynamic pieces get torn off in the strong headwind. Although I entered the shadows voluntarily, proceeding recuires opening the eyes of intuition.  My graduation project is a process of bringing together my experiences with religion, spiritual searches, aesthetic preferances and technology. Inspiration varies from tuning …

This presented artistic piece is a fragile, holistic work that tries to encapsulate the human path of life on the edge towards awakening to a new life. This work “18:25” is a collection of memories that, through the human body and the human hand, search for the restored vitality of moments lost. “18:25” plays with …

The kind of civilization and society we know today has been built to enslave and repress. Not only ourselves but also the environment around us. This system is kept alive directly by the people who agree to submit to it, and it’s a kind of submission that brings endless amounts of anxiety and discontent to …

I became curious about the combination of archeology and more recent ruins. This led to my idea to create a space that turned the building fragments of these ruins into important archeological artefacts and called it the Museum of the 20th Century Archeology. I dumpster sourced the “collection” of this museum by exploring local demolition …

From the fall of 2020 to the summer of 2022, the author of the work visited apartment 34 on Gustav Adoff Street in Rakvere. From these visits, works reflecting the relationship between a specific space and the body were born: “Kõik loeb/ the Reader”, “Korter 34” and “Where are you?”. The final work of the …

I am researching the role of different senses in the lives of visually impaired and sighted individuals, as well as in the experience of art. In a visually oriented world, it is customary to say, “Look with your eyes, not with your hands!” Moreover, it is not common to touch art, which, in my opinion, …
