Bypassing Fate
Acrylic on wall and on suspended canvas
2024

"I'm sitting in the shed, looking at the pumpkin lamp burning by the wall and listening to the deafening rustling of leaves. I know I have to go again soon, but I'm still waiting for the last moment before the shadows come. I hum a tune to myself, the play of lights on the wall is talking at the same time. I'm silent again and listen to the leaves, when the pumpkin lamp makes one small twitch in its face, and I know I have to go now." (Excerpt from Mart Alaru's book "Pimeduse raadio/ Radio of Darkness")​

The painting was influenced by the rush of routine and the emotions behind it.
