A sign, a situation, a space and a time, it is like the grounded Wind Sun, inviting a new field of vision to an event.Meaning – such as the sparkle of the Lagoon, like the Prussian temples.Time – Late.The place of restoration is a concentric point carved in Lithuania, in the geographical center of Europe and in its nearest middle – in Kaunas, near the first fort.The archisculptural installation of the ring metaphorically responds to the circle of Kaunas as a ring fortress … only the thing with the white wind is different – it is the form and content that is the opposite of strength, more difficult and underground. It is no longer a war, it is a matter of creativity, acting as a possible changing field of worldview and self-creation.Today, next to the anxiety of military ghosts, next to the loudspeakers of viruses … The future silent cry of restart, recovery, invites us to remember the original, unconventional origin of man, to experience WHITE, the color of the beginning of light, as a clean place, as a victory of the spirit!
