Oblico morale!*

My generation, those of us who lived through the Soviet period, developed a kind of allergy to it. We instinctively distrust subjects that are inherently grand or heroic. We grew up rejecting pathos.

When I was working on the monument to Astra, I identified with him so deeply that it genuinely changed me. Situations where I would once have compromised or stayed quiet I found myself able to resist. Photo : Gustavs Bruno Grodzs
