Fragile from the heaviness. October 2024, Kuldiga 

During the residency in Studija Space, I focused on working with local materials. Immersed in Kuldiga, most of my works were related to the preserved landscape. I aimed to create pieces that reflect the passage of time and geology. Inspired by Tim Ingold's book “Making: Anthropology, Archaeology, Art and Architecture,” which seeks the connection of these disciplines and how we can perceive and experience the world through the lens of making. With my work I was exploring to reveal the layers of elements that make up the environment, particularly the river and its banks. I titled this experience "Fragility from the heaviness" to capture the idea of becoming more fragile after enduring too much, like bent trees after strong winds. Some of my works were small-scale landscapes fixed to cellular concrete blocks, placed on wooden boards, and set on wheels to create moving images , capturing the fluidity and change of nature.
