Where do you wish to sit down?

2022


The installation work in Pedvale Manor, Latvia invites people to determine the perspectives of their life viewpoint, by either following the illusionistic indulgence of the material world, or the hard, but humble path of morality and mental freedom. By mixing together fairy-tale poetry with academic realism, and using a wall tapestry embroidery and ready-made items, the artist attempts to raise questions as to what is true in this world we live in.
In turn, images, drawings, and cut-outs inspired mostly by Latvian nature and traditions take place on the bookshelves of the library room, as artists's personal travel notes. These works seem to also unfold peculiar stories that tend to moderate the rational mind and demean the arrogance of today's "All-Knowing" man.
