Coal forest
The installation will greet the viewer in a pine forest that is located near the Valley of Silence. The perspective installation „Coal forest“ invites the audience to think about the fragility of Neringa‘s forests and why it is important to protect them. Wildfires are devastating to the forests on the island and fire is a clear and universal symbol of destruction to the living nature. The installation urges to stop and think about any activity that is damaging to a forest. The creation draws the audience in visually and even though the viewer knows that this is a decoration, it still leaves a very clear understanding of how brittle the nature is. A megaphone attached in the middle of the installation continuously plays a cracling sound reminiscent of a wildfire. The audio aspect of the installation complements the visual form, the burnt-out space in the shape of a circle surrounded by the greenery of the pine forest warns the viewers to act responsibly.

Awaken from books
Installation from books for Martynas Mažvydas National Library of Lithuania
Installation was build for a library interior only using old books and black paper.
Awaken from books – represents eight famous creators, national awakers, writers and scientists who lived and worked in Lithuania in the late 19th and early 20th century. The poet Bernardas Brazdžionis, social figure and publicist Gabrielė Petkevičaitė-Bitė, linguist Jonas Jablonskis, semioticist and linguist Algirdas Julius Greimas, scientist, archaeologist Marija Gimbutienė, philosopher Stasys Šalkauskis, writer, philosopher Vydūnas, prose writer, playwright Žemaitė – look at the Martynas Mažvydas National Library‘s of Lithuania visitors.
The 71 square meters installation is like a bridge between history and the present. Books revive by living history, and in the way like this, makes sense of space.

#foodporn project II
Personal project for a #foodporn solo exhibition
A few years ago, I started my project named #foodporn by a famous hashtag on social media. Foodporn itself is an old term to define tasty and good-looking food, which you can’t taste because it’s only photography or a video on the screen. I was encouraged to make it into series with my prior art subject – human.
I started by taking selfies in front of a mirror but received many selfies from strangers when I posted this on social media. #foodporn became a project, safely talking about the body and all the people behind vegetables is real. Some people behind are my close friends, and they posed for me.
I like to remember it’s nothing about nudity. It’s only carrots and beetroots.

The predecessor of the modern telephone is a stimulus from the past, which at that time was the most pronounced means of intervention into personal space. We can treat the strident sound of a phone call, which captures the entire attention of the addressee, as a symbolic precursor to the information-caused stress that has plagued modern society. But it’s not a phone that is the source of our stress. Things don’t contain anxiety or sadness in themselves. Stress is our reaction to the environment.
Symbolic stimuli have turned into a source of harmony in this environment. The structure of the Japanese garden in the installation has taken on a different shape. The “stones” arranged in the shape of a riverbed pulsate in meditative tones and send harmonious waves. The authors suggest that we should look at the stimuli and stressful objects around us from a point of peace.

Foodprint
I made my fingerprint by using approximately 60 kg of food, the average amount for a waste a year per one person in Lithuania. After the photographer took the picture, all the food was collected and donated to the food bank.

Old accordions
I made a portrait of the accordionist Martynas Levickis from real accordions and their parts.
An accordion has about twenty thousands parts inside, so I decided to create the portrait from them. We disassembled two old accordions into the smallest possible parts.
It was a nice way to give new life to old instruments in an art project. It took about four hours.

Lithuania’s soil
A Series of works was made to celebrate the deeper meaning of soil. I recreate important history photos by painting with Lithuanian soil. The very first project was dedicated to signatories of the Lithuania independence act. After this artwork, I started a series of works called Lithuania’s soils speaks. This project brings me to Tokyo, where I painted Chiune Sugihara from Lithuanian and Japanese soil as gratitude to Japanese people for Life land to all the Jewish refugees through world war II.
Two-point composition
The focus is on spatial change and innovation. The main goal of this installation was to provide aesthetic satisfaction and create emotion and experience.
Looking from the point of the bottom of the library stairs, you can observe the figurative composition. It symbolizes the first sketch, the basic geometric shapes that are often used to think about the architecture of the smart city of the future.
The second part of the installation is a bright trail that symbolizes creative inspiration and flow of thoughts. The path was best seen from the balcony on the fifth floor of the library.
The installation for the future city of Lithuania covered almost 100 square meters and was exhibited in the National Library of Martynas Mažvydas.
