| The phrase uttered by the Ukrainian border guard, Roman Hrybov on the first day of the war, 24 February 2022 (in English: “Russian warship, go fuck yourself!”), has been woven into scarves in the colours of different flags. These scarves can be used as slogans protesting against Russia’s aggression in Ukraine; for example, in front of the embassy of the Russian Federation in Tallinn’s Old Town. Moral Fibre is a beautiful and intriguing English expression, also referring to textiles and signifying the determination to make the right choices in a difficult situation. This work is an attempt to do the right thing, to find one’s ‘moral fibre’. | |
