MAAN LUUT / Bones of the Earth
Oil paintings 2020
German and Soviet troops set up military camps in the fields of Finland during World War II and left behind remnants of the war. Those remains do not merge with the earth and from time to time they spring from the ground.
“We always die for our country. When one has lived in it worthILY, activeLY, wiseLY, it is for his country also that one dies. The murdered are not quiet underground, Priam. They do not merge in it for rest and eternal accommodation. They do not become soil, the earth’s flesh. When you find a human skeleton on the ground, there is always a sword near it. It’s a bone of the earth, a sterile bone. IT Is a warrior”
“The Trojan War will not take place” / Jean Giraudoux, 1935
