Dear all, I am pleased to be finaly able share with you my latest project:
it took longer than expected, but I am very happy with what I was able to achieve.
This collection is part of my family history.
At the same time, I wanted to show the rich cultural heritage of Lithuania, which is often left behind in
a fast moving production of things today.
It is also not uncommon to see parallels between tradition and conservativism,
which makes one wonder, if the two really go together, does tradition interfere with the ability to create?
I came into close relationship with my heritage trough the textiles of my grandmother:
it allowed me to form a new connection to Lithuanian mythology by incorporating facts and fiction,
most akin questions of today and surreal visions.Together with this cultural hybridization
I am trying to expose complex relations between tradition and modernization.
