Jonas Mekas’ Visual Arts Center in Vilnius was filled with thousands of handcrafted projectiles from water and soil.
“Pluto Time,” the latest installation, transformed the space with a silent piano and metaphorically bullet-riddled walls, aligning the gallery’s tempo with Pluto’s distant pace. It highlighted the war in Ukraine, emphasizing hope’s significance in conflict. Visitors actively participated, trading earth projectiles for donations to Ukrainian soldiers and using the fertile soil to plant flowers, symbolizing renewal.
Supported by the NBA (non budget art) platform, the event fused art with solidarity.

Starting unconventionally, this installation filled my studio with the distinctive aroma of drying black bread. Bread, deeply rooted in cultures around the world, reflects the essence of values that shape our choices. Made of durable timber, the bed stands as a sanctuary for beliefs, its permanence contrasting with the fleeting nature of our truths.
The piece drew varied reactions, urging viewers at the exhibition to delve into the complex layers of our existence.

Spreading the entire art fair, this installation featured one ton of grains, a pulpit with a live microphone, and a thought-provoking question mounted on the wall: How does Art make Art? What began calmly soon erupted into a vibrant flurry of activities: speeches, songs, meditation, touching, smelling, caressing, relaxing, rolling, diving, bathing, and selfies.
This whirl of emotions, ignited by the simple question on the wall, transformed the space into a living canvas where every participant, from the city mayor to Eurovision stars, contributed to the unfolding narrative of what art truly means.

This wall sculpture explores the relationship between what we aspire to achieve and what's possible. Its presence has sparked many reactions, from strong disagreements to meaningful conversations, showing how much intent and context matter.
The history of its exhibitions tells its own story. Sometimes, it was hidden away; other times, it was proudly displayed on street billboards, drawing in thousands with its challenging nature. Through this journey, I've delved into the sculpture's potential, challenging viewers to consider its true impact and possibilities.

This photo diptych brings to life the pandemic's early days.
As we began to navigate back to normalcy, free from the constraints on breathing and touching that once governed our lives, those first hesitant steps were imbued with a sense of awakening. Each touch and breath felt newly significant and brought a deeper appreciation of our connections and the simple joys of human interaction.

This installation explores the act of looking up at the sky.
Staring at the sky, I feel an overwhelming emptiness, and words fail me until I stop thinking. Dreaming stops, and my gaze extends into the endless. If I were to follow it, it might take me beyond what we can see. However, I always find myself lying in the same spot, gazing upward.
