This tank-shaped salt lamp was purchased from a souvenir shop in Bakhmut in late 2016. The artists started literally licking this salt tank with their tongs day by day, bit by bit. This slow and quite painful process demonstrates the slow and not necessarily successful re-shaping of the object of trauma. It went on for 240 weeks (four and a half years) and each week they were taking a new photo of the salt lamp to record its gradual disappearance.
