What cruelty is?
What could be a result of fanaticism?
Is it possible to feel the pain and fear of other people?
How to talk about mistakes of the past and remember them?

The Red Terror project is an attempt to prevent the possibility of future violence by committing a violent act over the forest - one of the main temples of nature.
We came to the forest and imposed our will by taking away its part by a flat plane of our permanent beliefs, desires and needs...
A square of once living trees, which have saved their forms and meanings rather than the former true life, should remind us about dangerous power within us. A power, which should be treated with caution and determination of correct ways of its application.
