What do I leave behind? I see my pottery buried in the ground and how it is dug up by some future archaeologist. What I want them to find is my ceramic men and through them to get a slightly different picture of our time instead of everything else we leave behind today.

Snidare asks us: “What do we leave behind? I see my pottery buried in the ground, and how it is dug up by some future archaeologist. What I want them to find is my ceramic men and through them to get a slightly different picture of our time. A picture that differs from everything else we leave behind.”
