A hillfort mound north of Šiauliai carries more than a hundred thousand crosses, planted by hand since the 1830s. Oak, one to five metres, chip-carved by self-taught itinerant makers, bolted to wrought iron, hung with rosaries. Soviet bulldozers levelled it three times; each time the crosses came back within weeks.
Nothing here was designed. The look is accretion — leaning silhouettes overlapping in depth, linseed-darkened brown going silver in the rain, iron going orange. Density carries the whole image, not colour. Build with tight spacing, layered edges and almost no chroma.
