TRANSPARENT CURTAINS SOFTEN THE LIGHT

Sansusi Well-Being Art Residency, Latvia

2024

Developed during the Sansusī Well-Being Art Residency in Latvia, TRANSPARENT CURTAINS SOFTEN THE LIGHT explores how relationships with people and place can be translated into artist's books, installation, and performance. Created through conversations, workshops, and everyday encounters with residents of the Aknīste Social Care Centre and Psychoneurological Hospital, the works gradually become a common symbolic language shaped by attention and care.
