  "Atlass" in Estonian signifies satin and "atlas" denotes a collection of geographical maps, permitting the play on words that I have made use of in this work – I took pages from a school atlas (Soviet atlases from my own school years) and sewed them together to make lingerie (one of the meanings of the word pesu in Estonian is underwear).
