The statues are bizarre. I wonder if they are supposed to be mourners or something like that. Anyone know??

i was curious too...so i looked up niki feijen "disciple of decay" and found out
"in 2010, Niki visited the Chernobyl Exclusion Zone in the Ukraine, the ultimate deserted location. Before the nuclear disaster, the city of Pripyat had 50,000 inhabitants. After the catastrophic nuclear accident in 1986, the entire city was evacuated within 48 hours. With the mass abandonment, it was as if time was stopped, leaving thousands of hermited homes, still furnished with the former occupant’s belongings. They never returned to their homes again. Now, more than 25 years later the silence is deafening, like stepping into a deserted kindergarten still filled with dolls, toys, children's shoes and children’s gas masks, leaving an incredible impression."
this needs further research!
