Imagine a world after a global disaster where you are one of the few survivors. Almost all technology has disappeared, only a small part of knowledge and work tools have survived, but fear of the majesty of nature has returned. However, people have decided to hope and want to express this newfound hope in some physical form - but what could it look like?
In the most impressive exhibition to date artist Elza Sīle has created this exhibition as an installation-labyrinth, consisting of more than 200 elements, covering an area of 1500 m².
