found objects, screws, 2024

Vilnius Academy of Arts I explore the relationship with the found objects, the wind and myself. 
-
what is this wind about? What are these objects about?
things that I still can't leave - I'm learning not to forget, not to forget the places and people I've visited.
sometimes in a notebook, sometimes deep in my mind, sometimes in the shape of a thing, sometimes in the colour of a thing.
Things that I still can't leave - places I will return to someday, or maybe not, memories that will never be the same. like their sound or their blend.
The wind blows, blows at these things. never the same,  each gust is different, each sound is no longer the same.
I put my semester's collection in the hands of the wind. Wind, it's like your bells. someone hangs them by the river, someone hangs them on a high hill, someone hangs them by a lonely tree. 

Sometimes, when it's hard, I listen to the wind's song. sometimes, when it's hard, I listen, but I don't know if I hear - I observe.
I notice, I notice the little things, and I try to enjoy them. Where the heart desires, where the eyes point, where the feet lead.

Listen. Observe.
Maybe you'll hear the song of the wind and found things.
Sometimes it's extremely hard, but try to find joy in the days.

found objects, paper, transparent paper, notes, 2023-2024

Vilnius Academy of ArtsTrying to collect bits and pieces of everyday life and never forget - I'm always afraid of losing my reminiscences because of my fragmented memory, and at times I am conspecting my memories in my phone notes app and in my notebook. At the same time, it's an attempt to piece together random bits of the city - the location and circumstances of the find are written on the pieces of paper in which the found objects are packed. I only write down the situation when I return home or to the academy, sometimes not even on the same day - so it's an attempt to expand the boundaries and frames of my memory. The objects are different, from different days and places - so it's a kind of mapping of the city and memory. Sometimes I don`t remember where exactly, how, and why did I take the object. These objects doesn`t exist in the archive.
