This installation consists of seventy roly-poly dolls and clay sculptures made from earth gathered near the village of Voka in north-east Estonia.
Voka is closely tied to my childhood — visits to my great-aunt, prefabricated apartment blocks, sandpits, climbing frames, chamomile picking, and waffles shaped like walnuts. Returning there as an adult, forgotten memories resurfaced at familiar sites, each visit unearthing something new.
The clay sculptures recall playing at the beach, where raw, unyielding clay slowly softened through touch, only to harden and crumble again — much like memory itself.
