Shaky Ground originates from a childhood memory associated with the First World war. One of peter's cousins tried to dismantel an unexploded shell and died later that evening due to heavy injuries. Ypres was the front line of the first world war but looking at it today it is hardly imaginable. Above land almost all traces of the horrific war have been erased. However, to this day, human remains, shelters, fragments of projectiles and others remnants of the war are still found whenever someone sticks a spade into the ground. Thousands of missing soldiers lie there somewhere beneath the soil accompanied with other remains of the war.
