Mari Männa’s “Triptych” at Uus Rada Gallery

This place is not easy to find. It is one of those places you cannot search for until you are already there. It is a secret location where history seems to have come to a halt. A place that does not adhere to ordinary spatial logic but exists somewhere between the spheres.

Is this place something that once was, is now, or is yet to come? The only thing that is clear is that danger and beauty walk hand in hand here. We can sense this from the stories that begin to unfold from the reliefs created by an unknown master. The stone speaks, but not directly—whispering, hinting, in a language understood only by those who know how to listen.

Mari Männa’s new composition is inspired by the iconography of the Karja church. The artist invites the visitor to reflect on the medieval in the context of the present day.

Mari Männa (1991) is a sculptor and installation artist from Estonia, interested in construction and formation of narratives and how they influence our lives. Männa is currently exploring Estonian pre-Christian pagan traditions and folklore, examining their impact on cultural identity and spirituality.
