During the Great Depression in US the continuous migration of people moving around in search of easier conditions was relentlessly changing the demographical map of the States: homesteads, villages were disappearing. Somehow similar process is ongoing in the present-day Lithuania. Just within the last decade continuous migration has caused the population of Lithuania to shrink by almost one sixth. Towns are sucking out young people to the cities as it is the open economics of EU. I am driven to hurry and turn those places into something more than just memories of future grandparents. Maybe this monument to the Lithuanian countryside will touch those hidden corners in the memory which we, seemingly inadvertently, have closed up, being used to accept what can be gone very quickly.
