Honoring the tree. Varis Altāns, a resident of Drustės, points to the collection of old construction trees, boards and hammered nails, and laughs that this is his pension fund. At a time when people throw away too many wooden things or burn them without appreciating them, Varis knows how to turn what is unnecessary for others into new objects. The realization that the old is valuable precisely because it is old came gradually - after years of working as the main artist at the Riga airport and also after the time spent in America, where he learned the trade of a carpenter. Today he is a woodworker who knows how to give life to even any old end of a board. And something new will be created as the tree continues its life, continuing to be useful and serve people.
