The impulse for creating this work came from observing the life of a village or rather of some of its “inhabitants”. Harrows, plows, threshers and other agricultural implements, which name and purpose is often impossible to determine due to their age, disassembled, rusted, overgrown with grass – they can be found in different parts of the countryside, merged into the environment, motionless.
