For example, the description for the Under-knee Prosthesis artifact from Spring 1992 in Croatia read, "In a Zagreb hospital I met a beautiful, young and ambitious social worker from the [Ministry of Defense](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/truman-brewery-masterplan). When she helped me to get certain materials, which I, as a war invalid needed for my under-knee prosthesis, love was born. The prosthesis endured longer than our love.
