The time of the last heroes, 2026
akrüül ja õli lõuendil
This work was part of my exhibition Columna Cochlis, held at Vabaduse Gallery in Tallinn in 2026. In this work, I explore the connection between ancient traditions, memory and the gradual emergence of form. Inspired by folk myths and the aesthetics of ancient crafts, I combine intuitive exploration with experimentation in materials and textures. Rather than illustrating a specific story, I allow forms and associations to emerge naturally through the process of making, creating a dialogue between past and present.In this work, I reflect on the contemporary world through the myth of Romulus and Remus, the twin brothers who founded ancient Rome and were raised by a she-wolf. The she-wolf’s milk flows from her breasts, but I wonder: where are the heroes who would drink it today?
