...is inspired by my great aunt Nadezhda's cabbage field. I see cabbage as two different symbols- first of all collusion and the massive expansion of agriculture but as well as a token of surviving the hungriest periods in life.

The main inspiration lies in the 1940s- with glamorous parties coming to an end and people going to work on the fields. I heard a story about Estonia's head of state Friedrich Akel, whos wife got deported to Siberia and forced into field work. She wore a fancy hat to work, because for her, this was the last sign of feeling like a human being.
