Ära aja mulle kärbseid pähe. (paraphrased: Don't put flies into my mind) Estonian proverb

Flypaper explores the proverb “Don’t put flies in my head” by looking at how doubt, influence, and half-truths settle in the mind before we even notice. Flies, usually treated as signs of decay, shift here into quieter messengers — carriers of mixed signals and the ways meaning gets bent by others. The silver mask, weighted with forty-one cast flies resting on chainmail, interrupts vision and slows down certainty. Day forty-one, the moment after temptation ends, holds a fragile kind of clarity. The work sits in that uneasy space where perception wavers and persuasion quietly takes root.
