| The processes in the beginning of the 20th century seemed to be progressive, as they for example provided the country with electric power. Yet the production of oil-shale started to change the appearance of landscapes. In the conditions of naturally flat plateau, the anthropogenic land forms arisen from oil-shale mining and processing, have become important landmarks(Lynch 1960; Pae et äl.2005) as they resemble a “mountain range”

| “The identity value lies in anthropogenic landforms created by at least three human generations and the recreational value .in the use of these unique forms in tourism (lda-Viru maavalitsus 2003). The Kukruse hill serves as an example of one of the first victories over environmental problems caused by oil-shale production: the ever-steaming hypergolic gangue hill known as "Kukruse volcano" was flattened in the 1950s 1960s. When the smoking stopped, air pollution issues were relieved in the nearby villages.” -Locality, Memory, Reconstruction.

| I’m interested in the Ash Hills ‘the moving mountains’ and how they reshaped geography, altered and still altering the significance of the land. Mountains are typically seen as symbols of permanence: solid, unmoving, and enduring unless acted upon. Yet here, they present a paradox. These hills and mountains are not static; they are active agents of change, embodying the forces of the Anthropocene and dramatically altering the landscape’s appearance over time. I would like to explore the contrast/opposites between what lies above ground ‘artificial mountains’ and what remains hidden below ‘mines’, highlighting the differences between the visible and the invisible, the mountain and the emptiness below.

| Currently, I envision working with a series of photographs and films and potentially the outcome could take the form of an artist’s book.
