The artification of fragments of lost wooden architectural monuments acts as the funeral of an important part of the nation's culture code.

The artification and the burial of irremeable objects give pause for reflection on bereavements both on a personal and global scale. Those artworks were created with the use of fragments of burnt Russian wooden architectural monuments – an important part of the nation's culture code. We forget our traditions, artistic treasures and historical facts. They are swallowed by time and become fragments of the past.
