His greatest love was Hiiumaa, and especially the Pendi farm, whose enchantment seems to have accompanied him until his death.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2018I dream of Pendi all the time,\u2019 he confessed to me as we drank vodka together, \u2018especially the junipers in Pendi\u2019s sheepfold. Their marvelous shapes, formed by the sheep\u2019s nibbling. I see them in fog and rain, in snow and moonlight, on summer nights and at sunrise.\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In such moments he seemed like a romantic adolescent boy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Art historians have found surrealist imagery in \u00dclo\u2019s junipers. Their fantastic forms have been interpreted as a Sooster-like act of world-creation, unrelated to visible reality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Such intriguing arguments have been printed page after page, and they are a pleasure to read, yet it seems that the truth of \u00dclo\u2019s images is much simpler. Anyone who has not seen the extraordinary forms of junipers shaped by Hiiumaa sheep - those artist-gardeners - may take the objects in the pictures for the artist\u2019s imaginary world, merely given the name \u2018junipers.\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In one respect, however, the theorists are right. These are ideal, perfected, purified forms, for \u00dclo longed for a large, clear, and pure image - one that dominates all his finest works. Yet in truth, it seems, \u00dclo painted into those forms his love, his memories, his losses, and his pain.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Heinz Valk, \u201cEscape from the Bright Future\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"676\" src=\"https:\/\/soosterfoundation.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/25160513\/657373246_122263337102084492_440156297331519446_n-1024x676.jpg?v=1774454716\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4348\" srcset=\"https:\/\/soosterfoundation.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/25160513\/657373246_122263337102084492_440156297331519446_n.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/soosterfoundation.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/25160513\/657373246_122263337102084492_440156297331519446_n.jpg 300w, https:\/\/soosterfoundation.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/25160513\/657373246_122263337102084492_440156297331519446_n.jpg 768w, https:\/\/soosterfoundation.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/25160513\/657373246_122263337102084492_440156297331519446_n.jpg 18w, https:\/\/soosterfoundation.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/25160513\/657373246_122263337102084492_440156297331519446_n.jpg 600w, https:\/\/soosterfoundation.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/25160513\/657373246_122263337102084492_440156297331519446_n.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Photo: \u00dclo Sooster with relatives in Hiiumaa.
